SD+Prairie+Bud+Books

Corral Drive's entire second grade spent several weeks listening to several of the Prairie Bud nominated books. The Prairie Bud Award is a South Dakota State Library award. Each year several books are nominated and the list distributed to librarians. Students can vote for their favorite book from the list however they need to have read at least 5 books from that list before they can vote. Voting ends at the end of March of each year. Our second graders listened to 10 of the 16 nominated books and then voted (privately) for their favorite. See their results below. This was a fun and interesting project to do with them and we also did some pretty interesting activities related to the stories.

Check out the [|South Dakota State Library] website. Next year's nominated Prairie Bud books are listed!

There were a couple of books nominated for the Prairie Bud that we did not get to read or did not receive a vote. They are: //Dinotrux// by Chris Gall //Joe and Sparky Get New Wheels// by Jamie Michalak //Thunder-Boomer// by Shutta Crum //Listen to the Wind// by Greg Mortenson //All the World// by Liz Garton Scanlon
