Just when you thought it couldn't happen... Yes, folks, count 'em. This makes three blog posts this month. Whoo-hoo! That's some kind of record for me...but I digress. The big news in the world of children's literature is the Newbery Medal and Caldecott have been announced. Think National Book Award or Pulitzer because it's that big. Here's the list.
Newbery Medal - The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Caldecott - House in the Night, illustrated by Beth Krommes (written by Susan Marie Swanson)
Newbery Honors - The Underneath by Kathi Appelt (Atheneum), The Surrender Tree: Poems of Cuba's Struggle for Freedom by Margarita Engle (Henry Holt and Co.), Savvy by Ingrid Law (Dial), After Tupac and D Foster by Jacqueline Woodson (Putnam).
But moving on to the big game this weekend, call me crazy but I'm more interested in the halftime show and the commercials than the game itself. Who's playing, anyway? Greg

“What a great presentation! Many visuals brought the "talk" to life. The students loved the spooky laughter contest and to be able to play a part from the book. Greg Trine really relates to kids!” Pam Zirion 2nd Grade Teacher, Hawthorne Elementary School
