We announced some time ago to begin talking within the CCBC-Net community tomorrow about the 2000 Newbery Award winner and Honor Books.
Perhaps some of you still want to make comments about or responses to messages about the Caldecott Award and Honor Books. This will be fine. We particularly want to have you share observations not made before now on CCBC-Net about these "Caldecott books" up to now on CCBC-Net.
We also want to move on.
Just as some of the Caldecott books were commented upon during our December "favorites" discussion, so also was the Newbery winner, "Bud, Not Buddy" by Christopher Paul Curtis (Delacorte). If you haven't commented on "Bud, Not Buddy" on CCBC-Net yet, or if you have something new to say now, please share your thoughts about the 2000 Newbery Medal winner for distinguished writing for children. We'll be talking about this same book again next month, because it also is the winner of the 2000 Coretta Scott King Author Award. "Bud, Not Buddy"
and Christopher Paul Curtis are The News.
During the rest of January, we also welcome your comments about any of the three Honor Books were named by the 2000 Newbery Award Committee. They are: 1) "Getting Near to Baby" by Audrey Couloumbis
(G. P. Putnam's Sons); 2) "26 Fairmount Avenue" by Tomie dePaola (G. P. Putnam's Sons); and 3) "Our Only May Amelia" by Jennifer L. Holm
(HarperCollins).
It's possible that some of you have not read one or more of these books yet. That's always the situation immediately following the ALA awards announcements. If one of these books wasn't in your library or bookstore at the time of the press conference, it's possible that it'll be a while before you have a chance to see it. So it's even more important for anyone who has read one of them to step up within the CCBC-Net community. If you know of a young reader's response to any of these books, we welcome that, too. Use your own language. You don't have to use "distinguished" language - whatever that might be - in order to voice your own responses!
If you haven't visited the American Library Association website to see all of the information there about each of these awards or to secure brief information each book, we encourage you to do this for the Caldecott Award (ala.org/alsc/caldecott.html) and the Newbery Award (www.ala.org/alsc/newbery.html) .
Now, what's on your mind about the 2000 Newbery winner or any of the 2000 Newbery Honor Books?
