Mock Geisel Award

The Theodor Seuss Geisel Award is given annually to the author(s) and illustrator(s) of the most distinguished American book for beginning readers published in English in the United States during the preceding year.

Each year our Children's Services department hosts a Mock Geisel Award program for adults who are interested in children's literature. If you would like to participate, the complete Mock Geisel Award reading list can be found here. If you can't join us in person for the discussion, please take a moment to post your comments about any of the books online. We'll be sure to read your comments as part of the discussion.
