Brilliant for the School Library Journal to get involved with booktrailers, hopefully it will highlight them and give more teachers a glimpse into how the trailers can be used and created.
We have an Australian student who created a book trailer on an Australian CBCA book in the top 4!! Check out the trailer for Bear and Chook by the Sea… vote for your favourite, but give this 10 year old a special thought!!
