Here are the results of the mock Caldecott held last night by the Fairfield County [CT] Society for Children's Literature:

Winner: Action Jackson by Jan Greenberg & Sandra Jordan, illus. by Robert Andrew Parker

Honors: What Charlie Heard by Mordecai Gerstein The Spider & the Fly by Mary Howitt, illus. by Tony DiTerlizzi Duck on a Bike by David Shannon

A special consideration was given to Fireboat by Maira Kalman. We decided that what we really loved about it was the text and the layout, and so, with the mock-power invested in us, we gave it the Charlotte Zolotow award.

Other books that were considered: Talkin' About Bessie by Nikki Grimes, illus. by E.B. Lewis Apple Pie 4th of July by Janet Wong, illus. by Margaret Chodos-Irving Mrs. Biddlebox by Lina Smith,, illus. by Marla Frazee Mattheew A.B.C. by Peter Catalanotto The Frogs Wore Red Suspenders by Jack Prelutsky, illus. by Petra Mathers Alley Cat's Meow by Kathi Appelt, Illus. by Jon Goodell Pinocchio, the Boy by Lane Smith I Stink! by Kate & Jim McMullan Madlenka's Dog by Peter Sis Rap a Tap Tap by the Dillons When Marian Sang by Pam Munoz Ryan, illus. by Brian Selznick Gossie by Olivier Dunrea John Coltrane's Giant Steps by Chris Raschka
