Another Award For Rags!

Well done, little Rags!
Rags, Hero Dog of WWI: A True Story won the Intermediate Grades Charlotte Award!
New York readers enjoyed learning about the little dog's Rags battlefield exploits and how he would not leave his soldier's side.
Named for the main character in E.B. White's Charlotte's Web, the purpose of the NYSRA Charlotte Award is to encourage students to read outstanding literature and ultimately become life-long readers.  The award has been given every two years by the New York State Reading Association. A committee of educators from across the state determines a ballot of excellent fiction and informational texts published in the previous two years.  The winning authors and illustrators are chosen by NY students.
Books are voted upon by students in four categories:  primary (preschool through grade two), intermediate (grades three through five), middle school, and high school.  Over 5,000 votes were cast in this school year by NY students for the 2016 award.
I'm so thrilled that Rags has won another award! It's such a shame that Margot Theis Raven, the author, is no longer with us to enjoy the book's success. Sadly Margot passed away in 2014, Rags was her last book.
