BOOKS HONORED WITH MEDALS

Caldecott Medal Books

The Caldecott Medal was named in honor of 19th century English illustrator Randolph Caldecott. The award is given 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.

The books below are Caldecott Winners that are shelved at the Bridgeport Public Library.

Kitten's First Full Moon, by Kevin Henkes.

2005 Medal Winner

What a night. The moon is full. Kitten is hungry, inquisitive, and brave, and fast, then persistent, unlucky, then lucky...what a night. The kitten is hungry and thinks the moon is a big bowl of milk.

Coming On Home Soon

Coming on Home Soon illustrated by E.B. Lewis, written by Jacqueline Woodson

2005 Honor Book

Evocative watercolor paintings in Coming on Home Soon illuminate a story of cross-generational love and convey the longing of a child anticipating her mother's return. Lewis' portraiture and attention to light sources, from cold winter hues to warm interior tones, reflect the loneliness of the child and the comforting strength of her grandmother.

The Red Book

The Red Book, illustrated & written by Barbara Lehman

2005 Honor Book

With a simplicity that belies their depth, Lehman's nuanced watercolor illustrations in The Red Book transport a city girl, an island boy and the viewer beyond their familiar worlds. This wordless picture book offers an enticing visual journey with surprising twists and reveals the mysterious power of books.

Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale, by Mo Willems

2005 Honor Book

This is the story of a little girl who has a favorite stuffed bunny -- Knuffle Bunny. She's just a little girl who can't talk yet. When Knuffle Bunny gets left behind during an errand, she does all she can to get her father to understand what is happening. Will she ever see Knuffle Bunny again?
