2011 Bluestem Award Nominees
In the spring of 2008, the ISLMA board approved establishing a committee to explore the possibility of a new book award that would fit between the Monarch and Rebecca Caudill Awards. The award is designed for students in grades 3-5 who are ready for longer titles than found on the Monarch list, but not quite ready for the sophistication of some of the Rebecca Caudill titles. Named in honor of Big Bluestem which is the state prairie grass, the award may include both timeless classics and current titles, as well as books that have appeared on Monarch and Rebecca Caudill lists. This year's list is as follows:
1. Barrows, Annie Ivy and Bean
2.Bishop, Nic Nic Bishop Frogs
3.Clements, Andrew No Talking
4.Dahl, Roald BFG
5.DiTerlizzi, Tony Kenny and the Dragon
6.Hopkinson, Deborah Sky Boys: How They Built
the Empire State Building
