Celebrate picture book month with a special month long contest. This contest is open to children ages 5 to 12. Contestants watch a 2 minute youtube video and play a matching game based on what picture book illustrators say what a picture book means to them. Participants who match the most quotes to the correct illustrators will be entered into a drawing to win a $50 gift card to Target. Winners will be announced in December.
Ask the children’s librarian for a matching sheet to participate in the contest. You may turn your completed game sheet to the children’s department when you are finished.
You may watch the video and play the game on any public computer or at home. The following website is used for the game:
