Caldecott Medal Winners
and Honor Books
Below
is a continuation of our Caldecott Medal and Honor Book list...and what
a list it is! We couldn't begin to select a favorite title from
this impressive list! We like the wide range of illustration styles in this group---from the stunning woodcuts in Snowflake Bentley to the bright cartoons in No, David! to the highly detailed, more sophisticated illustrations in Tibet Through the Red Box. To learn more about any of these Caldecott Medal and Honor books, click the book title. And if you want more, you can
