Today we begin our discussion of the 2007 Caldecott Award winner and honor books:

Winner: Flotsam illustrated by David Wiesner (Clarion)

Honor Books:

Gone Wild: An Endangered Animal Alphabet illustrated and written by David McLimans (Walker)

Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom illustrated by Kadir Nelson. Written by Carole Boston Weatherford (Jump at the Sun / Hyperion)


We hope that many of you have had the chance to look at one or more of these books.

What are your thoughts about these three distinctively different works?

Megan
