The Newbery Award winner this year is Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village by Laura Amy Schlitz, illustrated by Robert Bryd. Through poetry, Schlitz reveals the spirit of the 13th century. Did you know that the writer is a librarian? See wanted to present a play with many major actors. Maybe, you could have fun with this in class!
The 2008 Caldecott Medal winner is The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. This is not like any Caldecott winner I have ever seen, but you be sure it’s written for you. Interweaving words and pictures, Selznick creates a suspenseful tale.
