Twelve high school students at a small private school in Bluffton, Indiana examined and defended--quite well, I might add--several picture books. Their choice for the Caldecott was:

"Knuffle Bunny" illustrated and written by Mo Willems

They awarded two honor books:

"Wow! City!" illustrated and written by Robert Neubecker
"Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog" also illustrated and written by Mo Willems

The other books that they voted to defend were:

"Actual Size" illustrated and written by Steve Jenkins
"Camel's Lament" illustrated by Charles Santore, written by Charles Edward Carryl
"Mr. Maxwell's Mouse" illustrated by Devin Asch, written by Frank Asch
"Saying Goodbye to Lulu" illustrated by Ard Hoyt, written by Corinne Demas
