2010 Book Awards-The Big Ones
A little late with this, but in light of the Oscar nominations announced this morning I thought I'd post about the books that won our version of the Oscars this year. The Caldecott and Newbery Medals are the most prestigious of the awards given in the chilldren's book industry.
And the Caldecott goes to....
The Lion and the Mouse by Brian Pinkney
And this year's Newbery Medal is...
When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead (Here's a great review at SLJ)
As you would expect, they are both amazing and we have both titles in the library. Come check them out!
