Kudos to Jon Klassen for getting the medal AND and an honor book award!
Were some of you there in the room for the announcement? Did the rest of you watch online or follow the twitter feed? Robin is in Seattle and will probably call me sometime today. I was here at work listening in but now I need to head home. (Still ailing, but the announcement is like a shot of adrenaline!)
We’ll post an official response to the announcement later, but for now I wanted to spread the word and give you all a place to discuss this.

I had a long time on planes and taxis to talk about all the awards with my husband, who is a fellow book person and active ALA/ALSC member. In the words of Joey Pigza, "Can I get back to you tomorrow?"Posted : Jan 29, 2013 04:58

Robin & Lolly ~ Thanks a bunch for hosting this blog with such enthusiasm and grace. Seattle is just too many time zones and transfers from Martha's Vineyard, but with your attention to this online forum the Awards Season has been great fun and I've learned so much. I can't wait to read the winning books aloud with my students and I look forward to future conversations about the wealth of wonderful children's literature we are so fortunate to share.Posted : Jan 29, 2013 02:13

You are right, Jules! That was a charming posting on Peter Brown's blog or site or whatever. I am disappointed that the Hat book as won the prize. I thought Extra Yarn and some of the other honor books were more deserving and I"m sad about some of the other books we discussed not making the list. I guess that is how it goes every year. I mean no offense to Mr. Klassen - admire his work very much. I love this blog and get so much from it. Thanks Robin and Lolly. I'd love to see it go all year with suggestions as they come up over the year for everyone to consider and read and then really going full blast with analysis in the fall. Sincerely, AllisonPosted : Jan 28, 2013 11:37
