Yes, I agree with Sam, I would have loved to see Muddy on this ballot. This was a tough vote. I restrained myself from voting for books whose story I liked maybe a little bit more than the illustration, or books that my students really loved. Overall this was a good list. looking forward to the results tomorrow.Posted : Feb 05, 2018 06:49

OK, I'll mourn, but as I say I am quite happy with this ballot. As we all have a few titles that were never part of the Calling Caldecott equation, I'll only mention titles that received a an official Horn Book review but ultimately missed the ballot. And of those (I think there were actually four or five, and not two as I stated on another thread) I will only mention one: Muddy (Michael Mahin; Evan Turk) I do feel the transcendent, electrifying art, so well fused with the text made for most of the resplendent and dazzling words on music ever published.Posted : Feb 02, 2018 04:05
