What do you do if you ever run out of ideas for a book to read? I always check the Newberry Awards List. They have recently added the newest Newberry winner and honor books for 2007 and they look fantastic. The Newberry Award was created in 1921 as the first award for children's books. The creators wanted to acknowledge and encourage creativity in children's literature. Some of my very favorite books have been Newberry Award or Newberry Honor books. Take a look at the list and find something you'll love!
To identify a Newberry book, look for the silver seal pictured above
