The Newbery Title Frankenstein
Travis Jonker | Blogs,  Jul 14, 2015
There’s a post right up my alley over at A Fuse #8 Production today. It’s about how certain book titles sound more Newbery-ish than others.

Newbery / Caldecott 2016: Summer Prediction Edition

Newbery / Caldecott 2016: Summer Prediction Edition
Elizabeth Bird | Blogs,  Jun 24, 2015

#winning!
Roger Sutton | Blogs,  May 29, 2015

I hope I can say how much I love the 2015 Boston Globe-Horn Book winners without anyone inferring my opinions about previous years.
