I'm back at it, and determined to finish my Caldecott Challenge reading by the 75th Anniversary Celebrations coming up in Chicago at the ALA Annual Conference.
After all of the books were checked back in for summer at my library, I piled up the remaing Caldecott Challenge books, loaded them up, and brought them home. I'm ready!
My favorite "new to me" read: The Glorious Flight: Across the Channel with Louis Bleriot
I had never heard of Bleriot, and his designs are fascinating. Pair this with some footage of the Bleriot XI that still flies today, and kids will be enchanted by the history.
The Bud's favorite: St. George and the Dragon. You can't beat those dragon-y, battle-y illustrations. His comment, "Whoa, good thing the dragon didn't land in the magic pond or under the healing tree!."
