The Texas Bluebonnet Reading Program is a State-wide program in Texas where students in grades 3-6 read 20 nominated books each year. In January, students who have read 5 or more from the list get to vote for their favorite. Ballots are counted across the state and the winner receives the Texas Bluebonnet Award for that year.
This year's 2011 winner is:
The Uglified Ducky: A Maynard Moose Tale by Willy Claflin
A new version of the Ugly Duckling Fairy Tale where a moose thinks that he is a duckling.
