\"\"St. Johns native’s book is Cybils Awards finalist
\n“Eggs 1, 2, 3: Who Will the Babies Be?” by St. Johns native Janet Kloeckner Halfmann is a finalist for the 2012 Cybils awards in the Nonfiction Picture Book category.
\nThe judges described the book this way: “Is it a counting book, is it a poetry book, is it an informational picture book (the category for which it is nominated), is it a pattern book, does it allow for predicting and inferring, or is it a book full of wonderful language? Delightfully for the reader, it is all of the above! Janet Halfmann has done a lovely job teaching the reader about different animals and the eggs from which they come.”

\nEggs 1, 2, 3 is a lift-the-flap book for children ages 2-6, published by Blue Apple Books. It is Illustrated by Betsy Thompson, who uses richly textured papers and fabrics to fashion cut-paper collages.
\nThe Cybils are the annual literary awards of a large community of internet bloggers who discuss children\u2019s and young adult books. The books are judged on literary merit and kid appeal. The winners will be announced on Valentine\u2019s Day.
\nHalfmann is the award-winning author of thirty-five books for children. Recent titles include “Home in the Cave;” \u201cStar of the Sea: A Day in the Life of a Starfish,\u201d \u201cFur and Feathers,\u201d \u201cGood Night, Little Sea Otter,\u201d \u201cLittle Skink\u2019s Tail,\u201d and \u201cSeven Miles to Freedom: The Robert Smalls Story.\u201d
\nBefore becoming a children\u2019s author, Halfmann was a daily newspaper reporter, a children\u2019s magazine editor, and a creator of coloring and activity books for Golden Books.
