Over the past weeks, the six CBCA Short List Early Childhood books were read to each class from Kindergarten to Year 2. The children were shown the voting chart at the start of the series of lessons and looked forward to voting for their favourite book. The voting chart was very exciting and lead to many hot discussions. It also helped to explain the Book of the Year and Honour books and how special it is for a book to have such an award. The children are thrilled when they find other award books in the library collection recognised by the shiny award sticker.

During Term 3 Kindergarten were introduced to the six CBCA Short List Early Childhood books. For each book we focused on the main character. At the end of the term the children were split into six groups where they illustrated the main character from one of the books to create the Book Week bunting.
