The ALA Awards were announced Monday and I was happy to see two books I really loved on the list:
Elijah of Buxton - Newbery Honor
The Invention of Hugo Cabret - Caldecott
Here's the complete list.

Orange Pear Apple Bear
WOW! It's already 2008!
I am trying to get back into the blogging mode for this New Year but having a slow start. I hope to read and discuss many books this year which will encourage more children to read. There are several Best of Lists in the blog world and I just wanted to mention one book I enjoy.
Orange Pear Apple Bear by Emily Gravett has been mentioned on several "best of 2007" lists for picture books. It's soft and muted illustrations are just right for the simple text of five words throughout the story! The illustrations express the joy and fun of this book which is appealing to young children. It's a winner!
