The Children's Book Council

A very nice large format book with a long introduction. There is a full page for each poster with the 'captions' containing interesting facts about the artist of that year's poster and placing it in the context of the year's events. The introduction is a short history of the publishing of children's literature in the U.S. and the establishment of Children's Book Week. Many of the artists have been awarded Caldecott Medals and/or have had Caldecott Honor books.
