Hey, man. We all have those favorites that didn't make the cut, but by and large this is a pretty out-and-out good list. It's also going to seriously affect the order in which I read and review books. I have Rex Zero, but I wasn't going to get to it for a while. What a difference an award makes, eh?

Well, I must say that this is an impressive list of winners! I am an especially big fan of Dog and Bear by Seeger and Wolves by Gravett. Way to go, all!
Three cheers for Loree Burns! I love TRACKING TRASH! Getting to know author Loree Burns was inspirational -- even made me switch from lunch baggies to plastic boxes for lunches. Yeah for Loree and all the winners!!
Yeah for Loree Burns! Haven't gotten to see her book yet, but excited to see the nod for her. Wolves could have almost been the Cybils winners, so Yeah there too. Of course, yeah Clementine, my favorite ever book. And I just read Dog and Bear and loved it, so Yeah there too.
