The Caldecott Medal & Caldecott Honor Books (1938-2012)

When it comes to sparking a child's imagination, 

sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words.  

The Caldecott Medal & Caldecott Honor Awards are given annually and recognize distinguished picture books for children.  I found this amazing list here, on the ALA website.  I've linked 1980-2012 for your browsing pleasure; the rest are listed, but you'll just have to Google them or search for them on Powells.com, because I am on vacation, dang it!
