Synopsis

Year after year, the Newbery and Caldecott Awards acknowledge the year's exemplary works for children - books that enrich lives and instill a love of reading. With its vivid annotations for all winning medal and honor books since the inception of the awards (Newbery in 1922 and Caldecott in 1938), librarians and teachers everywhere rely on this indispensable guide for quick-reference, collection and curriculum development, and readers' advisory. Indexed by title and author/illustrator, the 2002 edition includes background on the awards and photos of the new medalists and their books. The 2002 edition features an essay by John Warren Stewig, a children's literature expert and author of eight picture books. In his essay, Stewig explores how illustrations work by themselves, and together with their stories, to bring a book to life. He presents a unique view into the details of children's literature by discussing how illustrators use line, color, and space to expand on and enrich an author's words. If you serve young people, the 2002 edition will help you to introduce children to outstanding literature and illustration in creative ways and to make literature selections on your own from the criteria used for these distinguished awards.
