• The House that Jack Built

The Caldecott Medal is given every year to “the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children published that year.” Did you ever wonder who Caldecott was and why he deserved to have such a prestigious award named for him? If you have a good broadband connection, you can read The House that Jack Built at project Gutenberg. I understand why an artist would be proud to win a Caldecott.
