Elivia, Geisel and Zolotow are two completely different awards given out by two different organizations. The Charlotte Zolotow is for outstanding writing in a book for children for birth through age seven. While some of these books are easy to read, its intent is really to recognize books that are great read alouds for young children. The Zolotow Award has been given out for eight years, under the auspices of the Cooperative Children's Book Center at University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The Theodor Seuss Geisel is a brand new award, in its first year this year, and it's for easy-to-read books for children who are just learning to read. It's named for Dr Seuss because he was one of the first to write excellent books of this sort, beginning with "The Cat in the Hat," published in 1957. The Geisel Award is given out by the Association for Library Service to Children of the American Library Association. You can find more info about it here: http://www.ala.org/ala/alsc/awardsscholarships/literaryawds/drseussaward/DrSeussAward.htm
Hope that helps.

I have recently become a CCBC member and would like the email address
and website to learn more about the Geisel Award, as I am a children's author/illustrator and am very happy to recently have received HIGH RECOMMENDATION from the Charlotte Zolotov Award Committee for NO HAIRCUT TODAY! THis is written both for the very young, and as (I hope) an easy reader. Actually if any of you know it, as educators, I would value your feedback on it as an easy reader. I am not to up on whom this category is actually for. I had imagined beginning readers for this. THen watching a few beginners try it, I realized that some words were
sticky. I am interested in the Geisel award as I have a few similar level books coming out. What is the difference between this award category and the Charlotte Zolotov award category, which is 0-7 year olds? Sincerely, Elivia Savadier.
