Notes de l'éditeur
TEXT: Do the pages seem to turn in the right places? Does the text flow naturally when you read it aloud? How does it sound? Are there pleasing sounds, rhymes, rhythm, or repetition? Are there elements of patterned language? Are there sentence or plot structures that make the story predictable? Are there examples of familiar words or actions interspersed with less familiar?
In a poll taken by School Library Journal in May 2009, readers were asked to rate their all time favorite children’s picture books. These were not to include easy readers, but should be exclusively picture books. These are the results. The Caldecott Award winners on this list include: Where the Wild things Are (gold) The Snowy Day (gold) Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus (silver) Make Way for Ducklings (gold) Madeline (silver) Knuffle Bunny What’s not on the list: Goodnight moon Very hungry caterpillar Harold and the purple crayon Millions of cats
