21,000 local children help pick winners… THIS YEAR’S MSUM READ ALOUD BOOK AWARDS

A picture book about a despondent cow named Marjorie, unable to do handstands or ride bikes like her more talented Holstein barn mates, who amazingly lays an egg under a cunning plan hatched by a group of well-meaning chickens, and a tale about a young Abe Lincoln saved from drowning by a boy who became his life-long friend, were named winners of this year’s fifth annual Read Aloud Book Awards.
