Sigh. <br /><br />I am lucky to live near a library with an almost complete collection of Caldecott Award books.

I've never been able to find T-Bone (but I'm fond of most of C T Newberry's books) or The Two Reds even though Nicolas Mordvinoff is one of my favorite mid-century illustrators. It is unfortunate that in a lot of the early Caldecott and Newbery award/honor books there are stereotypes that are not acceptable by today's standards. That can, however be turned into a lesson for children in and of itself.Timothy Forryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13037506938899980633noreply@blogger.com
