Three+Apples+Book+Award

For the first time ever, children all over New York State will be able to vote for their favorite book. The Three Apples Book Award was developed to give children, in grades 3-6, the opportunity to select and vote for their favorite books. The award’s creators hope this prize will encourage children to read for pleasure and find entertainment in reading. Earlier this year children throughout the state nominated their favorite books. The nominations were narrowed to fifteen titles. Children who are interested in voting must listen to or read at least three of the fifteen titles. The winning book and author will be honored at school and public libraries across the state. Please see [|http://www.3applesbookaward.org] for a complete list of titles and voting instructions. Borrow the books from your school or public library!
