I also love, A Home for Bird…it is such a tender story, heartfelt story about how frog tries to find a home for bird. Reading books like this one aloud to children is something I look forward to everyday!! So far, this gets my vote for the Caldecott!

Don’t forget about Lee White’s fantastic book “Sophie’s Fish”. The illustrations really carry that one since the text is so minimal. I saw his work on the “Design of the Picture Book” blog today and just love it!

Thanks Lolly and Robin for authoring this blog again. I would love for you to discuss “Magritte’s Marvelous Hat” by D. B. Johnson. I’m just not sure what I think of it.

I would love to add Barbara Kerley’s Those Rebels, John and Tom, and discuss Edward Fotheringham’s gloriously original and ebullient illustrations. (He also illustrated Kerley’s What to Do About Alice.) His voice and style are so mesmerizing and enhance Kerley’s text in a way that’s just WOW!

I also would love to see Calling Caldecott discuss The Quiet Place, as well as Candace Fleming and Eric Rohmann’s Oh, No!

I learn so much from this blog and am happy it exists!

I picked up THE QUIET PLACE by Sarah Stewart and David Small today. Small’s art is really stunning. Probably makes its way into my top 3 along with EXTRA YARN and CHLOE AND THE LION. Still itching to see THIS IS NOT MY HAT and now (thanks to Philip Stead’s recommendation) eagerly anticipating Matthew Cordell’s HELLO! HELLO!

Yay! SO happy you are back. Thanks for the great list. Claire Nivola’s book ‘Life in the Ocean’ is one of my favorites, and I’d agree with the comments – ‘One Cool Friend’ is great.

I love One Cool Friend. There’s so much detail to appreciate on a second or third read-through and the blue grid backgrounds on the field trip are something I haven’t seen before.
