As a member of the National Book Award jury, I would like to echo Susan's comments that we read and discussed many wonderful books. As the Coordinator of Children's Services at The New York Public Library, I would say the same thing regarding our list of 100 Books for Reading and Sharing for 2003. The fervor of the discussion regarding The Tale of Desperaux is curiously refreshing. Sometimes we include all of the ALA award winners on our list and sometimes not. Different committees recognize different titles, providing practioners, parents and children with many enriching choices.

While I cannot reveal details of the National Book Award judging and selection process, I can assure you that no entry was overlooked or scorned by any member of our committee. We celebrate the fact that the ALA has recognized Kate DiCamillo's delightful Tale of Despereaux, as well as other titles we did not name. We delight and applaud the diversity of their choices. Congratulations on a hard job, well done, ALA!
Susan Campbell Bartoletti, Chair National Book Award for Young People's LIterature Judges' Committee.
