Hartnett is one of my very favorite authors. Very happy she got an Honor. Liz at A Chair, A Fireplace & a Tea Cozy also reviewed it fairly recently. Hit her search box on her blog, and you will find it. She enjoyed it, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-91367874310598979122007-01-24T10:30:00.000-05:002007-01-24T10:30:00.000-05:00Yes!

Do you have any opinion on whether there can be too many silver medals for these awards? There is a friendly difference of opinion in my writing group.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-83203344503468148512007-01-24T09:00:00.000-05:002007-01-24T09:00:00.000-05:00I totally agreed about American Born Chinese - so ...I totally agreed about American Born Chinese - so deserving, so awesome.<br /><br />Jules reviewed Surrender here if you're curious:<br /><br />http://blaine.org/sevenimpossiblethings/?p=18Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-38930683147738337212007-01-24T07:28:00.000-05:002007-01-24T07:28:00.000-05:00I'm pretty sure that Marcia Brown is the only othe...I'm pretty sure that Marcia Brown is the only other three-time Caldecott winner -- for Cinderella, Once A Mouse, and Shadow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-82821324210602001942007-01-24T01:17:00.000-05:002007-01-24T01:17:00.000-05:00To be honest I was really disappointed that The Ki...To be honest I was really disappointed that The King of Attolia didn't get anything (I'm a big fan of Megan Whalen Turner) but oh well, thems the breaks.

I think it's a great choice. I purchased the Langston Hughes poetry book at last year's ALA because his art caught my eye. Did they give an award for the John Steptoe new talent? I'm always sorry when they don't.Don Tate IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616878926865387399noreply@blogger.com
