Kinder-2nd grade @menchacamustang students loved the detail, "mix of cartoon and real life," "cool looking" pictures, and "magical rainbow colors" of @dsantat's illustrations in #EndlesslyEverAfter. It's the winner of this year's #MenchacaCaldecott! 🌟📖🌟#MockCaldecott

Our @menchacamustang 3rd-5th graders loved reading about both "the past and the present together," learning about "how cameras evolved" and exploring "how far movies have come." They voted for Action! How Movies Began by @meghanauthor to win this year's #SibertSmackdown! 🎉📖🎉
