Becoming a HerricksCott Judge

You will be placed in 4 different groups, and each group will review 6 of the following 24 books. As a group, you must choose 1 book to present to the class as your choice for favorite Caldecott medal winner. When looking at each book, please follow these CRITERIA:

Are illustrations colorful and eye catching?

Do illustrations help tell the story?

Are the illustrations good for an audience of children?

TAKE THE CALDECOTT CHALLENGE!

Now that you have seen a few of the winners, why not take the Caldecott Challenge and read a few more? Any second grader who reads 5 or more CALDECOTT BOOKS (use your bookmark to keep track) and brings us the list of Caldecott books they read or their bookmark with the titles circled, will receive a prize! Get ready, get set, READ!
