olga Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I take comfort in the fact that the Newberry Award (for chapter books) and the Caldecott Medal (for picture books) are the most respected awards given to children's books----and librarians and parents know this. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo 'n dye Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 That is good to know. Thanks Auntie Olga, I must wonder how many parents searching Amazon for a book for their young ones are as well advised. I wonder how many of those folks think an award is an award? Whether written by a truly despicable individual or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
