Like Oscars, but for books!
In case anyone wasn't up at 7:00 this morning to watch the live webcast from Philadelphia (because they have enough sense to get their sleep and just wait for the list to be uploaded), here are the 2008 winners of all the children's and young adult literature awards!
For the slightly less interested, the "big winners" were...
[drumroll, please]
Newbery Medal: Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!: Voices from a Medieval Village by Laura Amy Schlitz, published by Candlewick;
Caldecott Medal: The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick, published by Scholastic;
Michael L. Printz Award: The White Darkness by Geraldine McCaughrean, published by HarperTempest;
...and just because I love Mo:
Theodor Seuss Geisel Award: There is a Bird on Your Head by Mo Willems, published by Hyperion.
With all the award winners and honor books, I've got quite the reading list to tackle! Let me know if you want to discuss any of the titles!

I'm really excited by Hugo Cabret--amazing book! I'll have to get on the others, though....
I'm waiting for a copy of Hugo Cabret (can't wait to read it) but will let you know when I do get it if you want to chat. (And I always love Mo, so I'll get my hands on that soon, too.)
