I guess it's inevitable when you have a children's librarian who is also a huge sports fan: John Hendrix just posted two March Madness brackets on the bulletin board at the Bayard Taylor Memorial Library, but they have picture books and chapter books instead of college basketball teams.
According to BracketMeister Hendrix, "You're supposed to come into the library and pick up the pool, fill it out and the kid with the most wins get a prize...Every Friday I will post the winners of each round...so if I get 100 pools and 75 of them have Hungry Caterpillar and 25 The Mitten, Hungry Caterpillar advances."
Who will make the Picture Book Final Four? "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"? "Where The Wild Things Are"? "Goodnight Moon"? "Stellaluna"? "Rainbow Fish"?
I'm told that "Very Hungry Caterpillar" is the number-one seed, but personally I'm rooting for "Green Eggs and Ham."
And the Chapter Book competitors? Talk about all-stars: "Charlotte's Web," "Pippi Longstocking," "Ramona the Pest," "Little Women," "Harry Potter," "The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe," "The Hobbit"... it goes on and on.
Stop by the library and join the pools!
