I am new to ccbc-net and love hearing everyone's comments. I found it interesting that yesterday I trucked all over Cleveland and its west side and could not locate Kira Kira. Booksellers had many reasons for not carrying the book. Border's said they sent it back to the publisher in July and are awaiting the paperback. B&N only had two copies in each of their area stores. I ended up ordering from Amazon. I had seen this title on one Mock Newbery list. Would people mind sharing where they got the titles for their Mock Newbery experiences. Neither the winner nor honors were on the list we used for our 4th/5th graders. Final question-Is Kira Kira appropriate to read to 4th graders? Many thanks, LLane
