Caldecott Medal Winners 1938-present Jan 24 '10 (Updated Jan 23 '12)    Write an essay on this topic. Tweet The Bottom Line Caldecott Medal books are delights for the imagination and the eye. This list provides links to reviews of all of the Caldecott Medal books (not the honorees) since 1938. The Caldecott Medal is the highest recognition that an illustrator of children’s books can receive. It was named for the 19th century English illustrator Randolph Caldecott. This is awarded annually in January by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the “artist of the most distinguished American picture book” for children.  The following list will be updated annually. There may be other versions of this book in the database, but I have attempted to select the most conspicuous and logical link. This does not include movie versions, pop-up versions, or anything other than the book that has been illustrated by the Caldecott-winning author.  If the book does not have a link and you want to submit a review, go to my home page, and email me asking for a SAP of the book.  I won't provide links until requested, otherwise they tend to get lost in the database. I've made notes next to the books that either do not have links or have not been reviewed.  These will be removed as reviews are added. Many only have one or two reviews and I'd personally like to see that increased to at least five or six per book. A similar list of Newbery Medal awards and the Coretta Scott King Awards has also been generated. This and other Children's Books Awards lists have been pinned to the top of the Children's Section of the Book Message Boards for easy access. 2012:  A Ball for Daisy, illustrated by Chris Raschka 2011: A Sick Day for Amos McGee, illustrated by Erin R.
