1950 Caldecott Award
Song of the Swallows
by Leo Politi
Beautiful colorful illustrations, and like many early books there is a song included.
I spared you from my singing, but if you would like to hear the melody, click the video below.
1950 Caldecott Honor Books
America's Ethan Allen
by Stewart Hall Holbrook
Looking at this book in the stack was causing me to stall on getting back into the Caldecott Challenge - so text heavy and dry, but I finally pushed myself through its 100 pages of tall tale masquerading as biography.
Bartholomew and the Oobleck
by Dr. Seuss
Oh, Dr. Seuss, thank goodness I have you for the Caldecott Challenge early years!
The Happy Day
written by Ruth Krauss, illustrated by Marc Simont
The Happy Day seems like a book that would be read over and over with young children. It would have made for a good board book in it's day.
The Wild Birthday Cake
written by Lavinia R. Davis, illustrated by Hildegard Woodward
I love the professor character, and the name for the duck in the end of the story.
Henry-Fisherman
by Marcia Brown
by Marcia Brown
Brown chose fabulous colors for the illustrations that really connect to the setting.
