It’s the 75th Anniversary of the Caldecott Medal!
The Caldecott Medal is one of the most well-known and sought after awards in children’s literature.
The 2013 Caldecott Medal winner is…
This Is Not My Hat
It’s no surprise that Klassen’s dark comedy about a hat-stealing fish took this honor. The illustrations are simply stunning.
As much I as enjoyed This Is Not My Hat, Klassen’s 2011 hit I Want My Hat Back is still my favorite.
The quirky story of a bear who has lost his hat is laugh-out-loud funny. I recommend I Want My Hat Back and This Is Not My Hat for kids ages 4 and up.
