The Lion and the Mouse
By: Jerry Pinkney
Medal Winner
Reviewed by: Tanya Arnold
Also read and recommended by: Lara Lleverino, Sherry Early
This is one of the most perfect wordless books that my children and I have ever experienced. This fable lends itself really well to an adaptation in this form, and in Jerry Pinkney's masterful hands it is simply exquisite. Highly Recommend!

NOT REVIEWED
Following a circle of family and friends through the course of a day from morning until night, this book affirms the importance of all things great and small in our world, from the tiniest shell on the beach, to the warmth of family connections, to the widest sunset sky.

Red Sings from Treetops: A Year in Colors
By: Joyce Sidman
Illustrated by: Pamela Zagarenski
Honor
NOT REVIEWED
With original and spot-on perceptions, Joyce Sidman's poetry brings the colors of the seasons to life in a fresh light, combining the senses of sight, sound, smell and taste. In this Caldecott Honor book, illustrator Pam Zagarenski's interpretations go beyond the concrete, allowing us to not just see color, but feel it.
