Caldecott Summer

We read two more Caldecott Medal Winners this week!

One Fine Day by Nonny Hogrogian
"The Caldecott Medal Winner for the most distinguished picture book of 1972 "One fine day a fox traveled through the great forest. When he reached the other side he was very thirsty." The jaunty red fox stole milk from an old farm woman, lost his tail under the annoyed woman's knife, and spent the day bargaining to get it back. This humorous retelling of a favorite Armenian folktale is a story small children will follow and "read along" with ease."

Kitten's First Full Moon by Kevin Henkes
2005 Caldecott Medal Winner "When Kitten mistakes the full moon for a bowl of milk, she ends up tired, wet, and hungry trying to reach it."

Hurray for great books!!! Hope your summer is filled with them
