March "Book" Madness

My Cute Graphics

Whenever I think of March, I always think of March madness. This year Mrs. Bulvin and I wanted to do something different so we did a March "book" madness. We chose many different picture books to start us off. It was a mixture of Caldecott award winners and some really great more recently published picture books. Below are the groupings that we started with.






The Adventures of Beekle versus Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach
Nana in the City versus Me...Jane
Hooray for Hat versus This is Not My Hat
Sleep Like a Tiger versus Kitten's First Full Moon
Perfect Square versus Not a Stick
Red Sings from Treetops versus Green
First the Egg versus Bats at the Library
Chester versus Chloe and the Lion
Sam and Dave Dig a Hole versus A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever
Flora and the Flamingo versus Shark vs Train
Extra Yarn versus Some Smug Slug
Have I Got a Book For You versus The Book With No Pictures
One Cool Friend versus Penguin on Vacation 
Dog Loves Books versus A Ball for Daisy
Gone Wild versus Carnivores
Frankie Stein versus My Teacher is a Monster

Students were given the opportunity during class time and checkout time to read the pairs of books and vote. It's very interesting to see their reactions to the different books. And see the difference in the primary students likes versus the intermediate students likes. Some of our races were close and we narrowed the field down last week to the "Sweet Sixteen" matches.

The Adventures of Beekle versus Me...Jane
This is Not My Hat versus Kitten's First Full Moon
Not a Stick versus Green
Bats at the Library versus Chester
Sam and Dave Dig a Hole versus Shark vs. Train
Some Smug Slug versus The Book With No Pictures
Penguin on Vacation versus A Ball for Daisy
Carnivores versus Frankie Stein

Check back later this week to see our "Elite Eight". 

Happy Reading!!
