A program of the Children's Services department of the Allen County (Indiana) Public Library. Please join our discussion of this year's best informational books for children.
Welcome to the ACPL Mock Sibert blog!
We're excited about all the new informational books for kids that will be published in 2011 and we look foward to highlighting some of the best here. We hope you'll join the discussion by leaving comments on the titles we post. If you'd like to suggest a title for our list, simply leave a comment or send us an email.
In January of 2012, we'll get together in person to talk about our favorites and vote for our Mock Sibert Award winners. Watch for details to be published later this year.

This book is impressive in its versatility—teachers can put it to so many uses whether they teach the youngest children, or those slightly older. Younger children can have whole classroom discussions about treating others how you wish to be treated before launching into some role play activities. Older children can draw up Venn diagrams comparing and contrasting the two men’s stories of injustice. They can research and write or present on an issue they feel very strongly about—whether its as complex as discrimination, or as simple as skateboarders being allowed to skateboard outside the building. This book teaches about two men who marched, but it also sets the stage for teaching values and character.
