ReplyDeleteI love when the awards come out too! I'm definitely going to have to get my hands on a copy of The Lion and the Mouse.

ReplyDeleteI just ordered The Lion and The Mouse for my class, along with the Newbery winner and Capurnia Tate as an Honor Award. I can't wait for them to arrive. I must say, though, I've often been disappointed in the Newbery winners. I don't get the choice of The Graveyard Book at all. My favorite Newbery is Walk Two Moons. I'm almost afraid to read it again because I don't want my memory of it to fade or tarnish.
ReplyDeleteThat cover is STUNNING!
