2011 Washington Children's Choice Award

First Place at North Beach!

The results are in! All K-3 students voted for their favorite book nominated for the Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Award. In first place was Nubs: The True Story of a Mutt, a Marine & a Miracle. Students were touched by this non-fiction account of an amazing dog encountered by a marine while on deployment in Iraq. More information on Nubs can be found here. In second place was Those Darn Squirrels, a humorous tale of a lonely old man who battles against the squirrels who claim all of the food he leaves for the birds he is trying to coax into staying for the winter. In third place, students selected Let's Do Nothing, about Frankie and Sal, a couple of boys who learn that "doing nothing" may not be as easy as it seems.
