Typica...I hope so, Carol, but I don't think so. Typically, there are 50-75 books of poetry for young people published each year (and not all get nominated for the CYBILS poetry category). This year, I was able to include books that are due out this fall, too, so my initial list is longer than usual. But I could be wrong-- there may indeed be more published this year than usual. I'll certainly be keeping an eye on that all year long!

And here is a sort of weird question, but I'm just wondering. I know we read 48 books for the CYBILS this year. I'm wondering if the list is steadily increasing, because the demand for children's poetry and novels in verse is increasing?????<br />Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-20634227529744913062016-01-23T05:41:01.901-06:002016-01-23T05:41:01.901-06:00Hey, y'all, and thanks for stopping by to comm...Hey, y'all, and thanks for stopping by to comment and for all the great info-- which I've added/changed in my post.
