Caldecott Books discussion

I will have to say "Animals of the Bible." My assessment isn't really fair because I've never actually read it. I've pulled it off the shelf several times, considered it, but it looks so boring I've always put it back.

I have several I don't like, but I'll be tactful and not mention them. One reason I never want to serve on the Caldecott committee is because they often pick books that I feel got selected over books that are far superior. And that's all I'm sayin'.

Come on, Leigh! You've got to at least tell us what some of the far superior books are!

No, ma'am, I ain't saying. Don't wanna start a dustup-I've served on mock Caldecott committees and learned the hard way that folks will fight to the death to defend their book choices. :)
