SLJ’s Battle of the (Kids’) Books Begins with a Bang

Call off all bets. Children’s book ambassador Jon Scieszka left little doubt that School Library Journal’s first annual Battle of the (Kids’) Books won’t be business as usual. Scieszka, part of a panel of 15 children’s book authors that will determine the contest’s winner, immediately knocked Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book, this year’s Newbery Medal winner, right out of the running. To learn more about Scieszka’s decision, visit SLJ’s Battle of the (Kids’) Books blog.
