1. The Hello, Goodbye Window (Caldecott Medal) The Hello, Goodbye Window (Caldecott Medal)
from Michael Di Capua Books
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
What is the criteria for a Caldecott winner? I see nothing in the illustrations of this book to deserve an award. The story is nice, but I don't get it as far as the illustrations are concerned.

2. Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road? Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?
from Dial
Price: $11.55

Customer Review:
There are some jokes out there that are so classic they've passed the point where they're funny anymore. Knock-knock jokes fall into this category. Light bulb jokes too. And then there's the best one of them all. Why-did-the-chicken-cross-the-road jokes. Boy oh boy you just can't make anyone laugh... more info

3. Charlie Parker Played Be Bop Charlie Parker Played Be Bop
from Orchard
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:
I absolutely love the rhythm and flow of this book - it is my favorite of my daughter's library, and I happily read it over, and over, and over...of course by now I just recite it and she stares at the great illustrations. All ages love it - 4 months to 60 years. Thank you for a cool and intelligent... more info

4. A Childs Christmas in Wales (New York Times Best Illustrated Books (Awards)) A Child's Christmas in Wales (New York Times Best Illustrated Books (Awards))
from Candlewick
Price: $13.13

Customer Review:
If you have read A Child's Christmas in Wales, you know that it has to be a classic. But you can't fully appreciate it until you have heard Dylan Thomas read it. What a deep, expressive, poetic voice. For years, I have listened to the recording on a Caedman record. It is wonderful to have it on a... more info

5. A Kick in the Head: An Everyday Guide to Poetic Forms A Kick in the Head: An Everyday Guide to Poetic Forms
from Candlewick
Price: $12.23

Customer Review:
Every year Poetry Month comes along and every year there are children's librarians like myself who shudder at its approach. Poetry. It's not something that every person in the world is going to appreciate right off the bat. So, if you're like myself, you get out a bunch of poetry books, put them in... more info

7. A Poke in the I: A Collection of Concrete Poems A Poke in the I: A Collection of Concrete Poems
from Candlewick
Price: $11.04

Customer Review:
I found the idea of reprositioning the words to attract the reader interesting! However, I found some of these too difficult to READ! The "Skipping Rope Spell" by John Agard is fun and "Whee" by Robert Froman is exciting and brings back great memories of flying down a hill on a sled in Massachusetts... more info

This book is a great book for the classroom. It is a great intro. to create an "Important Book" with your own class. We did it and the children loved creating a page to tell about what was important about them. We love it!!

10. The Genie in the Jar The Genie in the Jar
from Henry Holt & Company

Customer Review:
I have an enormous respect for the singer Nina Simone. Therefore, I think it's safe to say that were Ms. Simone living today, she would probably eschew the joys of placing her songs in a picture book format. That doesn't mean, however, that she can't still inspire others to create original picture... more info
