An essential part of a children's lit lover's library!,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Caldecott Celebration: Six Artists Share Their Paths to the Caldecott Medal (Hardcover)
Most people who are in love with children's picture books are aware that the Caldecott award is given for the illustrations in picture books. This book gives the origins of the award and the guidelines for selection of the Caldecott Award-winning book.It analyzes specific illustrators/books that have been deemed Caldecott worthy over the past centuries including Chris van Allsburg, Marcia Brown, and David Weisner. Included at the end is a chronological list of every book awarded the prestigious Caldecott award. This is a great supplement to anyone's children's library. It gives great insight into the minds of these incredibly talented illustrators.

This review is from: A Caldecott Celebration: Six Artists Share Their Paths to the Caldecott Medal (Hardcover)
This is the older edition of Marcus's study of Caldecott winners. Six artists, one from each decade of the 1940s-1990s, are profiled in brief sections heavily sprinkled with photographs and reproductions of both their final artwork and their preparatory sketches. A great introduction to Caldecott history, but readers should seek out the new edition, which includes a profile of Mordicai Gerstein, who won the Caldecott in 2004.
