The children of Texas have spoken and the 2010 Bluebonnet Award Winner is The Uglified Ducky: A Maynard Moose Tale written by storyteller Willy Claflin and illustrated by James Stimson - a funny retelling of The Ugly Duckling starring a moose instead of a swan.
This year 187,848 students participated in the bluebonnet program in Texas by reading at least 5 books and voting for their favorite - that's a lot of reading!
The final results are:
1st Place: The Uglified Ducky with 43,146 votes (23% of all votes)
2nd Place: Dying to Meet You by Kate Klise - Purefoy's 2nd Place Winner too!
3rd Place: 11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass - Purefoy's 1st Place Winner!
Look for the new 2011-2012 Bluebonnet Reading List is the library soon!
Yippee! I loved that one. The CD of the author reading it was what made it hysterical.
