Horning, Ginny Moore Kruse, and Megan Schliesman via live interactive video to hear about all the latest award-winning books in the field of children's and young adult literature, including the the Newbery and Caldecott Medal winners which will be announced in Washington, D.C. on Monday, January 15.

This opportunity is offered through the Four Lakes Distance Education Network and will originate from the Pyle Center on the UW-Madison campus.

B) Outstanding and Award-Winning Books for Preschoolers (ETN): Thursday, January 25, 2001, 4:00-5:50 pm Instructors: Kathleen T.

The newly published books for the youngest to be discussed by will include board books for babies and toddlers, concept books, first picture stories, and first read-alouds. Chosen from the American Library Association book awards and distinctions announced nationally less than two weeks earlier, the books reviewed will include the preschool books named by the Year 2001 Randolph Caldecott and Coretta Scott King Awards Committees and the Notable Children's Books Committee.
