The comments on Wringer are valuable, and - regardless of the CCBC-NET schedule - it's fine to continue your responses to Walter's keenly recalled reflections on the way the book Wringer expresses the experience of young male rituals. Keep going on Wringer, if you've read it...
It's also fine to share your students' along with your own responses to the Caldecott books as scheduled. The first ALA press release I saw quoted Caldecott Committee Chair John Stewig - in describing Rapunzel as follows:
"Richly detailed oil paintings convey dramatic emotions and feature distinctive architecture, lush landscapes and authentic costuming of Renaissance Italy. Classically beautiful illustrations portray this complex love story which can be appreciated on many levels by all ages." Any other thoughts from anyone as to children's responses to Rapunzel? Anyone? ...Ginny

Doris, I don't know how you happened to have each of the books named by the Caldecott Committee, but it's great for your students to have the opportunity you described. Why do you think they responded so immediately to Rapunzel? They most likely don't know about Renaissance Italy or whether or not the clothing or architecture of that time is authentically represented, so why would they like it so much?
