Today in the library, in honor of this weeks new’ Caldecott book awards, we checked out some of the BCD library’s favorite Caldecott winners. Students learned that the Caldecott Medal was named in honor of nineteenth-century English illustrator Randolph Caldecott. It is awarded each year by the Association for Library Service to Children to a distinguished picture book author. We shared two of my favorite Caldecott winners today: Jumanji by Chris Van Allsburg, an adventure story that is action-packed and full of surprises, and Kevin Henkes, Kitten’s First Full Moon, a charmingly expressive story about a cat who mistakes the moon for a bowl of milk. We concluded with book browsing and checkout. Happy Reading!
