Children's Choice Book Awards: Kids--Vote for Camp Babymouse!

These awards are many, varied, and confusing. But here's the gist:

• Both Camp Babymouse and Babymouse: Skater Girl have been named to the CCBC 2008 Best of the Year list
• Camp Babymouse has also been selected as a finalist for the Children's Choice Book Awards
• Kids can vote at www.bookweekonline.com to select Camp Babymouse as the Children's Choice Book Award winner! Vote by May 4th; winners will be announced May 13th as part of Children's Book Week.

I have to say, the nominees in the CCBA 3rd-4th grade category give me zero insight into this age group. The kids clearly have widely varying tastes: Nonfiction books about wolves and big cats, a re-telling of the King Midas story, book #38 of the Magic Tree House series (dealing with Leonardo), and Babymouse on her summer romp.
