Mock Caldecott Contenders

Interpretation

How the words and pictures go together

  • The mood of the pictures should match the story

  • Illustrations should include details that add more to the story

  • The illustrations should interact with the words so that together they make the book special

Think about how the illustrations bring meaning to the stories!!
