Book Reviews brings together in one place the best children's and young adults' book reviews published in several countries. Thank you to all the magazines and websites for sharing with us their great content!

Created by TeachingBooks.net as part of the Caldecott Medal 75th Anniversary celebration, and debuted at the 2013 Newbery/Caldecott/Wilder banquet (June 2013), enjoy personal peaks into the studios of 3 Medalists (David Wiesner, Leo & Diane Dillons, and Kevin Henkes), and then see beautiful first-edition covers of all 76 Caldecott Medal-winning books (generously scanned by KT Horning and the Children's Cooperative Book Center). Under this montage of book covers are audio tracks of 25 of the recipients sharing brief insights into their creative process. Have fun identifying these Caldecott Medal-winning illustrators.
