Good Morning!

Hello All!
This week has been a great one!  I have recieved many books from the public library and have begun looking over them and reseraching the illustrators.  I did order a few books from amazon and they of course are the 1938 Honors Books.  Because I just LOVE when things are done in order I am waiting for those books to arrive so I can add them to the blog in the correct place.  Yup that's how I roll!  he he  The books should be here soon. 

Also I was able to locate a book that gives me the acceptance speeche from each winner. 
Caldecott Medal Books: 1938-1957
with the Artists' Acceptance Papers & Related Material chiefly from the Horn Book Magazine
What a find!  Thanks to the Pierce County Library!
