Several of your comments about "My Friend Rabbit" suggest that although this book's Caldecott medal took many adults by surprise, the book itself is being well received by children. Have any of you shared any of the 2003 Caldecott Honor Books with children, and if so, what was their response? What is your reaction to the Honor Books? The three Caldecott Honor Books are:

"The Spider the the Fly" illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi, written by Mary Howitt
(Simon & Schuster)
"Hondo & Fabian" illustrated and written by Peter McCarty (Henry Holt)
"Noah's Ark" illustrated and written by Jerry Pinkney (SeaStar/North-South)

Let us know what you think, Merri
