G.O.A.T. Greatest of All Time by Jol Temple & Kate Temple
"A humorous take on acronyms that will be very familiar with kids!" -- nominator
The Man Who Didn't Like Animals by Deborah Underwood
"This is a sweet book about how Old MacDonald came to be. It is a predictable story with a sequence that students all ages will be able to follow." -- nominator
The Midnight Panther (A Poonam Mistry Fable) by Poonam Mistry
"A beautifully illustrated book! The fable is timeless- a panther not believing they are as worthy as other wildcats. Simply written so the illustrations take center stage. Gorgeous!" -- nominator
More Dung!: A Beetle Tale by Frank Weber
"This is a fantastic read aloud, very funny, but has a heartfelt message at the end (don't be greedy). Very similar to Jon Klassan and Peter Brown books. They also have some nonfiction facts at the end." -- nominator
Parrotfish Has a Superpower by Jill Esbaum
"It’s a nonfiction title that makes a great read aloud, would be engaging to all grade levels that vote on this award. It’s a good length and can be used as a springboard to research for students." -- nominator
Seals Are Jerks! by Jared Chapman
"This book addresses a child's perspective of right and wrong, as well as attributing human ethics to the natural world. Very humorous and relatable." -- nominator
Spider in the Well by Jess Hannigan
"This book has bold, engaging illustrations and a questionable moral compass. Will prompt discussions about right vs wrong and what it means to be a "good guy" or a "bad guy." -- nominator
