I am on a committee which selects the CLA YA Book of the Year winner and honour books, for Canadian teen fiction. That means that I have to read a lot of books in a year, submitted by publishers. The winner has been announced, but before I donate all the books on my shelf to make room for the  next  year's submissions, I thought I'd see if I could make any poems using ONLY books which were submitted for this year. Here are the attempts:

This one pretty much wrote itself. I was pulling books on the holds list one morning, and all of these were on ONE shelf of the H's. (We have 6.5 shelves of picture books by authors with last names that start with H). When you see these all on one shelf, well, you pretty much have to stop and take a picture. Don't you?
