This month's focus is Award Winners. To participate, read an award-winning children's book (or books) published in the decade of your birth or before. (Honor books also count.)
Need help finding award winners? Here are some lists:
- Newbery Medal and Honor Books, 1922-Present
- Caldecott Medal & Honor Books, 1938-Present
- Edgar Award (Juvenile Category)
- National Book Award
- Lewis Carroll Shelf Award
- Coretta Scott King Award
- The CILIP Carnegie Medal (UK)
- The Kate Greenaway Medal (UK)
Feel free to share what you're planning to read here in the comments and/or on social media using #oldschoolkidlit2017. The link-up post for the reviews you publish this month will be posted on Tuesday, January 31.
For Newbery winners, I'll have to track down Crazy Lady by Jane Leslie Conly from 1994. Surprised my library didn't have that one, actually. Ooh! I read The Family From One End Street this summer! I saw it at a lot of bookstores in London. Enjoy!
