Award follow-up

Well, this year was a first – when the ALA award-winning books were announced on Monday, there were a few that I did not know (including the Newbery winner and the two Caldecott honor books), and that I had not added to our collection.  That’s never happened to me before.  I’ll be very interested to read these books when they do arrive at the library – I’m anxious to see what I missed on the first go when reading reviews.  Perhaps these award winners will blow me away!
