Official awards will be issued in January, but the Dayton Metro Library held a mock Caldecott and Newberry meeting on Dec. 12.
Using the criteria prescribed by the American Library Association, nearly 40 children’s librarians and guests considered over 100 favorably reviewed children’s books.

The winning Mock Caldecott picture book was They All Saw a Cat by Brendan Wenzel, author and illustrator.
The winning Mock Newberry Award for children’s literature was Wolf Hollow by Lauren Wolk.
Participating in the mock awards process gives librarians the opportunity to practice procedures used to determine the actual award winners.
