What is Name That Book (NTB)?
Name That Book is a Houston ISD competition sponsored by the Department of Library Services.
River Oaks will have two teams of six students: one for K-2 and one for 3-5.
Students read a list of 25 books. The K-2 books are primarily Texas 2x2 books, while the 3-5 books are Texas Bluebonnet nominees plus 5 additional books.
During the competition, teams are given a quote from one of the books and asked to name that book. The 6 team members must know the correct title of the book and write it down within one minute. The team receives one point for each correct answer.
Name That Book takes place in March 2026.
