Aaaaand they're off! Here is a link to the second and final ballot. We'll leave the polls on this one open until Thursday morning and aim to post the final results Thursday noon. If you missed the results of the first ballot, they are here.

On a real Caldecott Committee, we would keep voting until one book got more than 50% of the first choice votes. Once that happened, the committee would decide how many honor books to choose and perhaps vote one more time to see which of the runners up get to be honors. Of course, we can't be QUITE that authentic here because there are so many more people involved and we want to finish our Mock this week. So Robin and I will look at the results of the next vote, give the win to the book with the most first place choices, and make a decision about honor books based on the spread of votes for runners up.

I want to thank to Laura Girmscheid at Media Source in NY for making the ballots look pretty and do what we want them to.

Now everyone VOTE -- and tell all your friends and co-workers, too!
