I agree with Kathleen that many of the Caldecott award and honor books are not necessarily for preschoolers. This week our elementary students are voting for the Golden Archer Award (a Wisconsin award chosen by children). The first graders did not vote for "Smoky Night", but the multiage Gr. 2-3 chose it overwhelmingly. The students themselves felt that it was more their level, not for Gr. 1 or Kindergarten.

I'm among those who haven't gotten their hands on "Golem" yet.
