Paul O. Zelinsky took home the 1998 Caldecott Medal for the lush oil paintings in his retelling of Rapunzel. Guess which of the following titles is the illustrator’s favorite Caldecott-stickered book.
a) Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears written by Margaret Musgrove and illustrated by Leo and Diane Dillon (1977)
b) Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey (1942)
c) Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak (1964)
