It’s less than a month before the Awards Announcements, but it’s not too soon to hear results of mock Caldecott deliberations. Many libraries host meetings where readers discuss books and vote on their winners. It’s impossible for us to keep up with all of the results, but we do want to know all about your mock committees.
Do you run a mock committee or participate in one? Please take a moment and pop the results in the comments below. People like to know which books made your discussion list and which books were recognized after the votes were counted.
Right now, I am trying to decide how many books I want my second graders to talk about. We start the talking next week, with each child presenting one title to the full class. I will report the results right here. Voting in my classroom will occur on the last Wednesday of January. It’s usually a bit of a emotional roller coaster.
Please share your mock Caldecott results and encourage your librarian friends to share, too. Every time you mention a title we have not discussed on this blog, my stomach sinks a little bit. That should be incentive enough.
About Robin Smith
Also, we would love to hear how you organize your mock Caldecott events. It’s three years since we last asked this question (http://www.hbook.com/2012/01/blogs/calling-caldecott/mock-caldecott-diy/) and I have a personal reason for needing advice this year. Be sure to tell us what ages you are working with — kids in grade ___, adults in a weekly class, library patrons, etc.
I’ll be doing a Mock Caldecott session with a children’s literature class of education majors. The books we’ll be reviewing are on the Instructional Resource Center’s Pinterest site @ https://www.pinterest.com/ircaulibrary/mock-caldecott-panels/. We do this panel at the beginning of each fall and spring term. it’s always fun to listen to the discussion and take the final vote.
Grace Greene and I did a whole bunch of mock-Caldecotts over the years, and I posted about one way to organize them here: http://writeatyourownrisk.wordpress.com/2013/11/21/going-for-the-gold-very-long-post/
I’ll be doing a much simpler and shorter one this Saturday at VCFA. Will let you know the results.
K-5 classes (927 students) at Falmouth Elementary School in Falmouth, Maine took part in a Mock Caldecott vote in December. The winner was Little Elliot, Big City. Honor Books: Three Bears in a Boat and Sparky
My second graders are reading and taking notes this week. I will try to insert a picture of the form they fill out. They list appreciations and concerns on the back. (they love to express concerns, dear Lord, they do) The discussions will happen next week. The voting will follow. After the ALSC announcements, we will try to figure out why the winners won and why some of our winners might not have made the cut. When I get back on that Tuesday, they always feel like I have some ‘splainin’ to do. It’s hard for my second graders to understand that I have NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WINS this year. Anyway…
People choose their titles for lots of different reasons. I try to choose books that second graders can easily read and understand. That means my Mock Caldecott list skews very young. I lazily did not make a list, but am working from memory here.
Here is what they are looking at:
The Adventures of Beekle
Blizzard
My Bus
Where’s Mommy?
Farmer and the Clown
Sam and Dave
Hug Machine
The Right Word
Firefly July
Letter for Leo
Kid Sheriff
Viva Frida!
The Iridescence of Birds
All Different Now
Gaston
The Center for Teaching Through Children’s Books at National-Louis University hosted a Mock Caldecott last Saturday (1/10) during its Visual Literacy Institute held for teachers and librarians in the Chicagoland area. The group’s winner was The Farmer and the Clown. Three mock honor books were chosen: Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, Grandfather Gandhi, and Bad Bye, Good Bye.
I’m just going to copy/paste from another thread where I posted this: (sorry it’s so long…)
On January 8 children’s service professionals from the Lane Libraries, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, and assorted folks from both Northern Kentucky and the Cincinnati and Dayton metro areas held a Mock Caldecott. We discussed 25 books, and yes I really am going to list them all:

We separated into ten groups, with each group voting for their three favorites (just like members of the Real Committee do). Amazingly enough, 13 of the 25 titles received votes… but based on the point system used by the Real Committee, the results were as follows:
WINNER: The Farmer and the Clown
HONORS: Draw!; The Noisy Paintbox; Viva Frida!
our K-5 students chose the following:
1. Quest
2. Draw!
3. Sam & Dave Dig a Hole (so excited Mac Barnett is visiting our school in March!)
Have any of you ever done a mock Caldecott at a different time of year — i.e. not using books from the current calendar year? I am planning to do some mocks with my ed school students, but the class has been moved from fall semester to spring. So I will probably just pick books from the past 5 years or so. Any advice?
Hi, Diane –
I love the idea of using Pinterest for this. May I steal it?
Lolly
Sure! I used the IRC web site @ https://www.ashland.edu/administration/library/instructional-resource-center/irc-mock-caldecott-panels for years to share information and results of our Mock Caldecott sessions. Pinterest is visually appealing and the students are using it for course assignments as well. It’s win-win 🙂
I do a Mock Caldecott for each term (fall and spring). I do make sure to pre-select titles that would be eligible for the current year and use different books for each session. During the fall we look at titles that were published January through August, in the spring I try to focus on titles published August through December (though I may have to pull earlier to find enough books). I’m blessed with a tech services staff that allows me to preview books I ordered prior to cataloging and ‘tag’ titles I want to use.
Thanks, Diane. Unfortunately, our school library doesn’t have a very good selection so I will need to use my own books or books they already own. Or get from library and hope I can keep renewing through the semester.
But there are a number of good ideas here in these comments. Thanks, everyone!
Hello from Percy Priest Elementary! A devoted Calling Caldecott junkie, I am thrilled to be joining in the 2015 adventure. I am a school librarian and teach an hour of enrichment with “advanced” 1st grade students. We are in the midst of a Caldecott Unit and the kids are engaged and eagerly reading/analyzing the contenders.
Like Robin, our list skews on the younger end of the spectrum. Without further ado…
The Girl and the Bicycle
Blizzard
The Farmer and the Clown
Neighborhood Sharks
Where’s Mommy?
Bad Bye, Good Bye
The Right Word
Gravity
The Adventures of Beekle
A Letter for Leo
Flashlight
Three Bears in a Boat
Little Elliot, Big City
Have You Seen My Dragon?
Nana in the City
AND: Robin always showers me with kindness and I love love love soaking up her children’s literature wisdom. She is without a doubt a kid lit/teacher rockstar and one of my very favorite Nashvillians. 🙂

A hearty thanks to all who participated!
I think it would be very fun to do a Mock Caldecott with all the Caldecott winners from a decade and see what happens. That way you know the students will be able to find the books at the library. Plus, I think it would be interesting to hear the discussions.
Oh, Emmie, I am so glad you are doing such good work at Percy Priest! I can’t wait to hear the results.
Thanks for your kind words.
In the middle of our discussions with my third graders right now…trying to shoehorn them in with everything else going on!

I have been involved in a Mock Caldecott for approximately 9 years. The group has held a Mock Caldecott for much longer. Our group is the Children’s Services Round Table of North-Central Indiana.
We create a list of starred review titles that seem “eligible.” Copies of the books are generously provided by an area bookstore for our program. We meet the day of the actual announcement. The morning is spent reading/viewing the books. Before lunch, everyone votes for 4 books.
After lunch, we have started doing small group discussions. The books receiving votes are redistributed to 6-7 tables, and there are appointed discussion leaders at each table. Each table chooses 1 or 2 books to campaign for in front of the larger group. We vote again. Books with few or no votes are eliminated, and we have large group campaigning. We take a third vote and are usually able to name a winner and honor books from this final vote.
One member of the group finds out what the actual winner is. The other award winners (Newbery, Geisel, etc.) are announced throughout the day, but the Caldecott winner is only announced after we have chosen our “winner.” We make sure the winner and honors move into the afternoon small group discussions and try to build excitement by announcing how many honor books have been named. I’ve been the “list maker” for several years and have enjoyed following the discussion on this blog since it started. Thank you for the information provided!
I facilitate a 2nd grade Mock Caldecott program through my students’ library enrichment time. Since it involves 3 separate classrooms, 60+ kids, and a whole bunch of separate sessions, we can’t do a completely authentic voting process. But our goals are more about close reading and thoughtful discussions than they are about accurately predicting the official winners. Here’s how we do it:
First, the librarians curate a list of 12 books and put them into a bracket. We look for a sampling of diverse genres, illustrators, and styles, but we only include books that are short enough for an all-class read aloud (or “look aloud,” as my students like to call them when we read wordless titles). Each classroom is then responsible for a certain part of the bracket. When each class visits the library, we evaluate 2 books side by side and the children discuss and then vote which one they think best fits the criteria (which we present using kid-friendly language). At the end, we have 3 finalists that all of our students have an opportunity to read and discuss. We also provide a forum for children to bring other eligible books (or books that have been outvoted earlier in the process) back into consideration. Then we have a final vote, where children get a first and second choice. Their first choice has to be one of the three finalists, and their second choice can be any eligible book. (Whenever they vote, they have to write a quick sentence connecting their choice back to the criteria.) After the final vote, the librarians look where the numbers fall. The 2 finalists that don’t get the mock medal automatically become honors, but we also look for second choice (write-in) titles that rise to the top votewise. We announce our mock winners and stick celebratory “2015 Mock Caldecott” labels on our school library’s copies. When the children learn of the official winners on February 2, they’ll evaluate whether or not they agree with the committee’s choices.
Here’s what my 2nd graders decided for 2015:
Mock Award Winner: QUEST
Mock Honors: SAM & DAVE DIG A HOLE, THE ADVENTURES OF BEEKLE, A PERFECTLY MESSED-UP STORY, and GASTON
Other books we discussed included: THE RIGHT WORD, GRANDFATHER GANDHI, AND THREE BOYS BOOED, KID SHERIFF AND THE TERRIBLE TOADS, THE IRIDESCENCE OF BIRDS, THE FARMER AND THE CLOWN, WHERE’S MOMMY?, TOOLS RULE, HANK HAS A DREAM, VIVA FRIDA, DRAW!, BAD BYE, GOOD BYE, MY COUNTRY, ‘TIS OF THEE, THREE BEARS AND A BOAT, HUG MACHINE, FIREFLY JULY, and MY TEACHER IS A MONSTER
I forgot GRAVITY in my list of books we discussed above. We spent a lot of time on that one!
I once had students look at a winner and set of honor books all from the same year, but I covered up the seals so they couldn’t tell which book had won. After they voted, we revealed the stickers and the students reread the winner, looking to identify aspects of the excellence its committee found. Knowing that they’d be able to learn which book had won right away was super motivating for them. The only tip I have for someone interested in trying this out is to make sure you pick a year that your participants are too young to remember fully!
There were seven books that dominated my first-grade classroom Mock Caldecott results, meaning these seven survived three rounds of weighted voting. They were in no particular order, though LEO did come out on top:
A Letter For Leo
Kid Sheriff and the Terrible Toads
Gaston
Henny
Number One Sam
The Adventures of Beekle
My Teacher is a Monster
Magisterial lot in every sense! Bravo Sam!
I led a mock-Caldecott at Vermont College of Fine Arts this morning. A large crowd of mostly writers chose THE FARMER AND THE CLOWN. We had a short list and a short amount of time; no time to choose an honor book. Discussion was lively.
I love seeing everyone’s nominees. I used Pinterest to compile a list of all (or nearly all) the nominees I saw on this blog post as well as from the ALSC listserv. Let me know if I missed any big ones – or if you want access to add to this Pinterest board.
Check it out here:
https://www.pinterest.com/bookopolis/mock-caldecott-nominees-2014/
And click through the book cover to Bookopolis.com to see reviews from kids about these books.
In California we have the California Young Reader Medal Nominee program http://www.californiayoungreadermedal.org/ The book selection includes several years. Perhaps this is something to consider.
I conducted a Mock Caldecott with 5th grade students in the library. I presented the Caldecott criteria in the form of a rubric and the students spent two library periods assessing the books. I had about 45 books that I checked out from the public library based on any mention I could find in blogs, review journals, etc. Books needed at least 5 reviews in order to stay in the running (here cover appeal/first impression played a role in selection for review) and results were based on average rubric score.
And the results:
Winner – Where’s Mommy? illustrated by Barbara McClintock
Honors – Gaston, illustrated by Christian Robinson; A Dance Like Starlight, illustrated by Floyd Cooper; The Adventures of Beekle, illustrated by Dan Santat
I was intrigued by the results. While I could have guessed that Gaston would be appealing to a wide range of students, Where’s Mommy was a surprising choice and A Dance Like Starlight seemed a more sophisticated choice than I would have gotten with a younger age group. I would be interested in the results for an even older group, maybe HS, who would be even more discerning and thoughtful about the criteria.
Rhode Island’s Mock Caldecott with 12 librarians and school library media specialists made the following selections:
Winner – Aviary Wonders, Inc. by Kate Samworth
Honor – The Farmer and the Clown by Marla Frazee
Our final vote is next week, but so far our finalists are:
Maple
The Farmer and the Clown
Frida
The Adventures of Beekle
Tomorrow I’ll know if week 5 brings Neighborhood Sharks or Gravity to the finals (so far it’s Gravity). We will also add a wild card, which will be the next highest vote getter (Bad Bye, Good Bye, Draw!, A Dance Like Starlight, Sparky, or either Neighborhood Sharks/Gravity.
There were so many other titles I would have liked to include. Robin I would love if you could share the form in the first picture of the post. I can’t wait until the big announcement!
I am happy to share, Librarygarden. Let me see if there is a way to share a document here. I am not an expert with WordPress.
How old are your readers?
Bernadette,
Would you be willing to share your rubric here or post a link?

Hi all — The Takoma Park Maryland Library held its first-ever Mock Caldecott today, and we had a wonderful time! Our runaway “medal” winner was “The Farmer and the Clown,” written and illustrated by Marla Frazee. We also had four “honor” books (listed in alphabetical order by title): “Bad Bye, Good Bye” written by Deborah Underwood and illustrated by Jonathan Bean; “The Iridescence of Birds,” written by Patricia MacLachlan and illustrated by Hadley Hooper; “The Noisy Paint Box,” written by Barb Rosenstock and illustrated by Mary GrandPre; and “The Right Word,” written by Jen Bryant and illustrated by Melissa Sweet. Can’t wait to see how we stack up to the actual winners!
We wrapped up our Mock Caldecott unit this past week at Catherine Cook in Chicago, IL. Our second and third graders worked their way through twelve titles and three rounds of voting using a bracket system. The number of titles was cut in half each round, until we had three finalists.
The titles we discussed were:
VIVA FRIDA
KID SHERIFF AND THE TERRIBLE TOADS
A PERFECTLY MESSED UP STORY
THE RIGHT WORD
SAM AND DAVE DIG A HOLE
ALL DIFFERENT NOW
THE FARMER AND THE CLOWN
LITTLE MELBA AND HER BIG TROMBONE
GRAVITY
GASTON
THE IRIDESCENCE OF BIRDS
TOOLS RULE!
Our honors books were:
VIVA FRIDA
GASTON
And our Caldecott Medal winner was:
TOOLS RULE!
All said, we spent about three months on this unit – the students were so excited to find out our Caldecott Medal winner.
My class of second graders considered pretty much all the titles we talked about here on Calling Caldecott.
After four ballots, including a 10-9 vote between Farmer and the Clown and Beekle for the winner, here is how things went down:
Medal: The Farmer and the Clown
Honor Books: Beekle, The Hug Machine, Gaston, Blizzard and Sam & Dave Dig a Hole.
They discussed ten books–
The Adventures of Beekle
Sam & Dave Dig a Hole
The Farmer and the Clown
Letter for Leo
Kid Sheriff
Hug Machine
Gaston
The Iridescence of Birds
Blizzard
Viva Frida
