Mock Caldecott

The Rules are simple. Read one of the Mock Caldecott books, use the appropriate Google Form to vote based on the Caldecott criteria, and HAVE FUN!

Criteria – with help from https://everyday-reading.com/2018-mock-caldecott/

  1. How well is the art executed? (Basically, is this good art?)
  2. How does the art match the story? Is the style and medium a good fit for the tone and feeling of the storyline or theme? (In a nutshell, if it’s a happy, cheerful book, does the art reflect that, or if it’s a serious, sad book, does that art match that?)
  3. Is the art important to the story? (Do you get insight into the story, the characters, or additional details through the art that you wouldn’t get if you were just reading the text without any art?)
  4. Does it have a child audience in mind? The award isn’t for the most popular book, but it does need to have children as the primary audience.
