I'm delighted to discover that Scoot! appears on several mock Caldecott lists. I know that this has no bearing on the actual Caldecott awards, but it's a real honor to have my book enjoyed by readers in libraries around the country.

Scoot! is also a 2008 Wilde Award book:
"Active language and vibrant collages bring a pond
and its inhabitants alive in this captivating book to get you over life's little bumps."
