Looking for quality picture books? A simple way to narrow your search is to take a look at the Caldecott winners from this year and years past. Not all kids will be attracted to all books, so even with a great list like this, use your judgment and knowledge of your child while choosing!
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. -ALA
