More Winning Predictions from Heritage Christian School

Our Predictions for the Kate Greenaway Medal and why:

Reid Faitala: I Want My Hat Back, by Jon Klassen
"It is suspenseful and it is also going to make you laugh--and laughing is healthy."

Emily Siemens: Again!, by Emily Gravett
"I like the funny storyline and the "hole" at the back of the book as well as the illustrations are hysterical."

Victoria Clement: King Jack and the Dragon, by Peter Bently
"I think it will win because it is funny and cute and great for all ages.  The illustrations are great because they look like they were sketched."

Ben Morris:  Pirates 'n' Pistols, by Chris Mould
"This book will win because it is a book that has lots of interesting facts."

Feneti Bulcha:  King Jack and the Dragon, by Peter Bently
"It is cute and imaginative with the dragons and ogres, etc.  The pictures are very appealing to children the way that they are drawn."

Ashley Gerk:  I Want My Hat Back, by Jon Klassen
"I think this book is hilarious."

Isabella Caicedo:  Pirates 'n' Pistols, by Chris Mould
"This is a winner because of the illustrations and the techniques the author used that are very interesting."

Jesse Ward:  Again!, by Emily Gravett
"The book is the winner because the humor is fun for all ages!"

    We think this book will win because it is simple,funny and suitable for ages 4-10 years .These pictures are simple but the illustrator has used colour really well in the whole book.

  9. My own personal favorite for this award is King Jack and the dragon. The illustrator has very cleverly put Casper in all the drawings so you can see that the dragons are imaginary. I love the use of shading to add tension. I hope this one wins.

  10. Hard toss up between I want my Hat Back and King Jack. I think I will have to go with I want my Hat Back. I loved the sense of humour in this book:) But King Jack does have amaaaaazing illustrations!
