**BLUEBONNET AWARD READING PROGRAM**
The 2012 winner is The Strange Case of Origami Yoda

Students chosen from Texas Library Association's 10 districts charmed the TBA luncheon crowd at TLA 2012 in Houston as they introduced the winning book and its creator.

We kick off the Bluebonnet Award Reading program in the fall with booktalks and a video introduction the this year's list of 20 nominated titles. The books are selected by librarians across Texas because they exemplify good literature from various genres for students from thirds through sixth grade. The program encourages students to explore new books from various genres. Students participate in this program by reading, or having read to them 5 of the books on this list. In January, they get to vote on their favorite book. Encourage your fourth grade student to **READ 5 THEN DECIDE** ! Here is this year's list:
