Carey shortlist voting

 

This term, we have been reading some of the shortlisted books for this year and giving them a rating out of 10 for their pictures, their given information and their layout. The books we voted for were: M.C Escher for kids, Sorry day, Bouncing back, Happiness box, Our birds and Waves. All these books are non-fiction, hence why I said ‘rating them on their given information.’

My favourite shortlist book was the M.C Escher for kids, because it gives a lot of information, it has drawings and it is really interesting, because it has everything that I’m looking for in a good information book.

What I think makes a good information book is: that it gives its information in a clear structure, and that it makes it interesting, so with colour, a bit of humour, and a few pictures so that it isn’t all text.

What’s your favourite shortlist book? What did you vote for?
