Caldecott 2012

     The Caldecott Medal Winner and the Caldecott Honors were announced today by the American Library Association.  "The Caldecott Medal was named in honor of nineteenth-century English illustrator Randolph Caldecott. It is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children."
     I was very excited to see some amazing books receive the recognition they deserve.  All of the books have been previously reviewed in this blog, so here are the links to each one.
