Queens Library’s Annual Mock Caldecott and Mock Newbery Winners: Queens Library children’s librarians met in January 2012 for our annual Mock Caldecott and Mock Newbery events. After much discussion, the groups selected these 2011 titles:

Queens Library Mock Caldecott Winner: Blackout, by John Rocco

Queens Library Caldecott Honor Books: A Nation’s Hope: The Story of Boxing Legend Joe Louis, illustrated by Kadir Nelson, written by Matt De La Pena and Where’s Walrus? by Steven Savage

Queens Library Mock Newbery Winner: Okay for Now, by Gary D. Schmidt

Queens Library Mock Newbery Honor Book: Wonderstruck, by Brian Selznick

This was our 2nd Annual Mock Newbery, with 13 librarians as judges. This was our 4th Annual Mock Caldecott, with 51 librarians as judges.

Copies of all titles are available at Queens Library.

If you’ve read these books, do you agree with our judges? Let us know with a reblog!
