The "Franki" Awards!

Today on the always wonderful A Year of Reading blog, Franki posted a list of books she hopes win awards this season.  I figured hey, if FRANKI says a book should win an award, it just got an award!  Why not call it the "Franki"?  I mean there are about a thousand children's book awards.  Why not 1001?

Chalk
A Fabulous Fair Alphabet by Deborah Frasier
City Dog, Country Frog by Mo Willems
