The Newbery and Caldecott Awards: A Guide to the Medal and Honor Books

Now in an updated edition for 2006, The Newberry And Caldecott Awards by the Association For Library Service To Children is a straightforward catalog of children's books that received the Newberry award (2006-1922) and the Caldecott Award (2006-1938). Each entry lists the title, author, and illustrator of the book, along with a brief summary of the book's and art style, and a supplementary list of other honors the book earned. The 2006 edition also features a brand new essay by children's literacy consultant Sue McCleaf Nespeca, "Sharing Picture Books with Children to Promote Art Appreciation", which reviews the elements of great art and reveals how modern children's book artists incorporate such into their work.
