March Madness Champion

We completed March Madness in the MC and it was so much fun!  I have had many requests to check out all of the Elite 8 books, but especially the champion book!

The Final Four books were Ivan, the Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla, The Numberly's, The Incredible Book Eating Boy, and The Adventures of Beekle the Unimaginary Friend.

We then voted for the final two books to make it to the championship:
The Adventures of Beekle the Unimaginary Friend versus Ivan, the Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla.

And the Champion is.......

IVAN, THE REMARKABLE TRUE STORY OF THE SHOPPING MALL GORILLA!

There is also a fiction chapter book based on Ivan titled The One and Only Ivan.   I have recommended it to several students and we do have a copy in our MC.  March Madness was a fun way to extend Read Across America week all month and get the whole school involved.
