The pure and honest truth...

In my previous post I mentioned how students read through some books nominated for awards in order to get a good sense of what makes a story great. Joyce has asked me to share those books with you, however, I cheated a little bit when selecting the books. To tell the pure and honest truth, I just went to the library and borrowed picture books with Children's Book Council of Australia Award stickers on them!
HOWEVER, I checked out the Children's Book Council of Australia website and here are some links to the nominees for this year and the winners from previous years. ENJOY! :)
