The most prestigious award for children's book illustration in the U.S., the Caldecott Medal has been presented annually by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association, since 1938. Polette has selected 40 of the most popular winners and assembled an exceptional array of activity sheets to use with the books to enrich classroom, afterschool, and storytime programs. Enhanced with whimsical illustrations by Paul Dillon, this resource includes word search puzzles, songs, story strips, fill-in-the-blank fun, arts and crafts projects, and other activities all tailored perfectly to the content of each award book. Available as a PDF, Caldecott Fun is easy to download, and ready to copy and use. Children’s librarians, teachers, and anyone doing programming for children in preschool through the elementary grades will find this collection an invaluable and fun introduction to Caldecott Medal winners.
