Cast Your Ballot for the 2019 Guessing Geisel Mock!

Now's your chance to cast your ballot for Guessing Geisel's Mock! As they do on the real committee, we'll be weighting the responses with 4 points for each first choice vote, 3 points for each second choice vote, and 2 points for each third choice vote.

This ballot will stay open January 7th-14th. Please, complete only one ballot per person. 

This year we have narrowed down our ballot to just 12 titles. Our hope is that a smaller number of titles on the ballot will encourage more participation. However, if your favorite is not on the ballot, we invite you to write it in. We'll include all write in titles in our announcement post. 

It's not required that you have read all books to participate, although we recommend reading as many as possible, and reading reviews here and elsewhere. We are open to the possibility that we, just like the real committee, may have a clear winner after a first ballot, in which case we'll stop there and announce our results. 

If the first ballot does not produce a clear winner, we’ll conduct a second ballot from January 15th-21st. The real committee would keep going until they met the criteria for determining a winner, but we will stop after our second ballot and determine our winners. We invite you to join us for this virtual Mock Geisel with the hope that you’ll discover some new favorites for beginning readers.
