Today, I was adding some booklists onto this site, and I stumbled across a website called Flashlight Worthy. This website has hundreds of book reviews for kids and adults, and I think it's pretty great. I also love the name! A book that is "flashlight worthy" is one that would make you want to stay up all night reading, by the light of a flashlight if necessary!
I spent a little time looking at their list of all the Caldecott Medal books, going back to 1938 (way before even I was born!). A lot of these books brought back great memories. I grew up surrounded by books; both my parents love to read, and we spent lots of time at libraries and book stores. I spent hours looking at picture books, loving the stories and the pictures equally. Two of my favorite books from my childhood are on the Caldecott list: A Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats and Sylvester and the Magic Pebble by William Steig. Just seeing the covers of these two books makes me smile. I still adore these two books, for their sweet stories and wonderful art. Do you have any favorite picture books, either from the Caldecott list or not?
