The ALA (American Library Association) announced the 2018 Newbery and Caldecott Awards today. Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed with the Newbery book. The Newbery winner and honors books are meant to be the most outstanding contributions to children's literature. Of the whole year. This choice did not resonate with me.
The Newbery Medal was named for eighteenth-century British bookseller John Newbery. It is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.

An illustrated edition of the Newberry Medal-winning Caddie Woodlawn, which has been captivating young readers since 1935.Caddie Woodlawn is a real adventurer. She'd rather hunt than sew and plow than bake, and tries to beat her brother's dares every chance she gets. Caddie is friends with Indians, who scare most of the neighbors--neighbors who, like her mother and sisters, don't understand her at all. Caddie is brave, and her story is special because it's based on the life and memories of Carol Ryrie Brink's grandmother, the real Caddie Woodlawn. Her spirit and sense of fun have made this book a classic that readers have taken to their hearts for more than seventy years.
Author and mother Anna Quindlen offers ideas to raise children who love reading – and will keep it up after school is out.

#75 The Saturdays by Elizabeth Enright (1941) 27 points This book and its sequels are some of my favorite books of all time.

Newberry winning author with full colour paintings as illustrations ex library book with plastic cover intact. Some stamps inside (see photos) This book is in good condition. The library binding has kept the book and dust jacket safe for many years. I have not removed the plastic covering so cannot comment on the condition of the book underneath the dust jacket, but I feel it is safe to say it would be pristine. Some wear to corners and bottom edges from shelving. Story of this book: Its about finding peace with a dog called Otto who is "two and one half stories tall" They battle a neighbour who wants to steal Otto to make his roses strong. All is well that ends well after panic, mistaken identity, and funny performances of fire fighting. The town of Backgammon is saved. "A splendid farce, brilliantly illustrated"
#9 The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin (1978) 169 points It seems smarter and funnier, and altogether more perfect every time I reread it. – Jenne Abramowitz Simply stated the best book ever. It stands the test of time, and I give it to kids every year. Turtle, while incredibly unlikeable, is loveable just the […]
Hitty - Her First Hundred Years Have you ever read the charming story of Hitty – Her First Hundred Years by Rachel Field? Before I give you my review, however, may I show you my doll? It is an antique doll. She wears her original hand sewn muslin gown, has a petticoat and pantalettes edged in cotton lace. I was quite surprised and delighted the day I received her as a housewarming gift. She is the same doll, with the sweet face, that I had regularly admired on the shelf of one of my sister-in-law’s glass display cabinets. My sister-in-law is a doll collector. She buys and sells. I never dreamed that the plain, early American looking doll with the sweet face, would one day be presented to me. I’ve named her Helen after my great-grandmother. Helen’s hair is of flax and was skillfully refurbished by my sister-in-law’s steady hand. Helen wears her long hair like Dora does in my stories. Decorating this post are a few of the dolls from my sister-in-law’s collection. (She wishes to be unnamed.) Her dolls are dressed in a fashion that matches their lavish Victorian beginnings. Not long ago I read the children’s book, Hitty – Her First Hundred Years by Rachel Field. (You might have spotted it in the basket of a February post.) My daughters read it silently in their girlhood. I never had. I liked the story so much I wrote a review of it for Christian Book Distributors. Here is a sneak preview. Hitty, unlike the dolls you see here, is whittled out of mountain-ash wood by a peddler in Maine sometime during early 19th century. The story is her autobiography. But a girl doesn’t have to have a special interest in dolls to be enthralled by Hitty. Her adventures are what she will find so interesting. And there are a lot of them. Settings change dramatically. Near the beginning of her doll’s life she is carried aboard a whaling vessel in the arms of the daughter of the sea caption, is shipwrecked, marooned on a south sea island, recovered, then dropped for lost in India, picked up by a snake charmer and purchased by a missionary family. (Phew.) She returns to America, lives with Quakers in Philadelphia (where this time her new dress is gray) and meets John Greenleaf Whittier during the War Between the States. After being forgotten in a dark attic stuffed between the cushions of an old sofa, she is shipped to New York City with the furniture. Here, in the arms of another little girl she meets Charles Dickens on the streets of New York. With suspense the story continues as Hitty is stolen, hidden away, given away and thrown away. Yet amid her tumbles and travels she is always happy when admired and when a new dress lovingly takes the place of an older shabby one. Written in 1929 before the popularity of television author Rachel Field does a beautiful job describing the geographical and historical settings in words . . the words of a doll who takes courage, even when she doesn’t feel so brave, in life’s uncertain circumstances. Newberry Award Winner for ages 10 up. Gail Wilson Designs of New Hampshire makes a replica of the little doll Hitty for sale. Early American clothes, furniture, even a tiny cross stitch sampler for Hitty, are also available, as are kits. The wild blackberry brambles are blooming at the edge of our woods. This was my cue to photograph Lessons at Blackberry Inn amidst a setting of white blackberry flowers. Being pricked by a thorn I still managed to take a somewhat interesting picture. I hope with home school lessons coming to a close that you will set aside a little leisure for yourself, to read whatever interests you. I trust it will be something refreshing to grow-by. I like to hear what you are reading. Thanks for visiting, Karen Andreola

All paperbacks are in good to very good condition. I try very hard to capture any flaws or issues when I take the listing photos but on occasion I may miss something. Please forgive me if I do! Always feel free to ask for more photos and/or ask questions if you would like further details before purchasing. Almost all vintage books, hardcover and paperbacks are going to show signs of their age and usage that impact the condition. But condition can be somewhat subjective; what doesn't bother me (like tanning or foxing) might bother you so please contact me if you have any concerns with your purchase before leaving a review.

Thank you for the kind words on Buster. After everything was said and done, I became very sad and just loafed around the house. I didn’t walk on three days, in fact, but I did walk yesterday and Friday. We heard from the vet that he has a bacterial infection. Good news! No mass! Bad…
A while back I ran the numbers and, aside from fooling people into thinking I liked math, was fairly surprised to find that about 33% of Newbery authors win more than once. Since that post, what happened? Kate DiCamillo took home her second gold seal. With that in mind, let’s take a look at 2014 […]
