Blue Bonnet Books by TLA

The Blue Bonnet list is a list of twenty books chosen by Texas librarians. Students grade 3-6 are encouraged to read at least five of the books and in January, vote for the one they liked the best. The winner is announced in February and honored at the Texas Library Association Conference every year.

Here at Wallace the Blue Bonnet books are displayed on the shelf closest to the front door.
Students read the book and tell their teacher who then marks the class list.
All 3rd-6th graders who read at least 5 of the Blue Bonnet books will be invited to vote for their favorite book.
All students who vote will be invited to attend the Blue Bonnet party where the winner is announced.
