Extreme Caldecott Placement

This was the week that everyone in the world of children's literature looks forward to, the week when the ALA announces its annual award winners and honorees.  Since my thing is picture books, of all the prestigious awards, the one I wait for with baited breath is the Caldecott.

And one of the most exciting moments of the whole event is when the coveted (and lucrative) stickers are finally placed on the winning covers.

But why stop there?

With such a huge honor, I think it's time we started really flaunting it.  Why not sneak in the Caldecott seal in the actual books?  Who's with me?

Let's give it a shot.  First, the honorees:

and last but not least, this year's Caldecott Medal Winner:

Congratulations to all the winners... you've earned it, so don't be shy about showing it off.

Very clever! I especially like Sam & Dave missing an even more precious jewel!

This made me laugh. I really had to search for it in the Noisy Paint Box, you had it so well incorporated, and that is saying something, given that I have these books memorized.

Honestly, I think if someone presented Nana with that necklace, she'd totally wear it. That woman is styling.

It's kind of better than obscuring part of the cover!

These are brilliant!

These illustrations sure are amazing. Many writers have several entries in the competition too. May the best entry win. Good luck!
