CYBIL Award Winners & Finalists

Earlier this month, the winners and finalists of the CYBIL Awards were announced (CYBIL stands for Children's and Young Adult Bloggers Literary Awards). This is yet another great place to look for outstanding books to share with your children at home or in your classroom if you're an educator!

You can see the full list of finalists and winners of the CYBIL Awards here (opens as a .pdf). Visit the CYBIL website for more information about the awards, judging process, etc.

Since Easy Readers and First Chapter Books can sometimes get overlooked, I thought I'd pull out the finalists and winners in that category for our book list today:

• Clara and Clem Under the Sea by Ethan Long 
• My New Friend is So Fun! by Mo Willems
• Okay, Andy! by Maxwell Eaton III
• Pigsticks and Harold and the Incredible Journey by Alex Milway
• The Ice Cream Shop by J.E. Morris
