The students at Elizabeth Ide voted for their favorite books on the 2009 Illinois Monarch Award list last week. Each student had to select one favorite from among the nominees which I had read to them.
The runaway winner was Once Upon a Cool Motorcyle Dude by Kevin O'Malley. A glimpse at the cover will help you to understand the wide appeal of this book.
We had a tie for second place between The Secret Science Project That Almost Ate the School by Judy Sierra and Skippyjon Jones by Judy Schachner.
Our children enjoyed this opportunity. It will be interesting to see if the Kindergarten through 3rd grade students across the state of Illinois agree with them.
