It is time to nominate your favorite books for the Cybils! I’m a panelist this year for the first round of Board Books and Fiction Picture Books, so I’m paying careful attention to all of the nominations as they are coming in. You can see the list so far.
For Fiction Picture Books, so many wonderful books haven’t been nominated as of October 5th, 2017 — and these are just the ones off the top of my head. There are still so many more that haven’t been nominated and only ten days left to nominate them! And I haven’t even started with board books. (Yikes!) The deadline for public nominations is October 15th, 2017.
Are there children’s books published between October 15th, 2016 and October 15th, 2017 you think should be nominated?
Go to: http://database.cybils.com/nominate.php to nominate it! Any member of the public can nominate.
I would love to read whatever fiction picture book or board book you think is worth nominating. One person is eligible to nominate one book for each category — the books must have been published between October 15th, 2016 and October 15th, 2017.
All covers are Amazon affiliate links, to see if your local library has them, check Worldcat.org. Brobot Bedtime, This is a Good Story, and The World is Not a Rectangle, were sent to me for review by the publishers, the rest I picked up at my library or own a copy of.

If you want a more comprehensive list of all of the children’s literature released since October 15th, 2016 — I recommend going to Kirkus Reviews at this link and scanning all of their recommended books or you can also filter it and see all of the children’s books they’ve reviewed.
Still Stuck looks like the perfect book for my 18mo old daughter after our morning 🙂 I am always looking for new books for them so definitely need to check these out!
