Cast Your Ballot for Guessing Geisel’s 2020 Mock Geisel!

Book covers for 12 Mock Geisel contenders. 

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 3rd-10th. Please, complete only one ballot per person.

As we did last 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. 

We invite you to join us for this virtual Mock Geisel with the hope that you’ll discover some new favorites for beginning readers. 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 also invite you to share this virtual mock experience with your colleagues, students, and patrons (see our previous post for ideas). Please feel free to share this ballot via social media, email, etc. The more the merrier!

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 11th-18th. 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.
