An amazing Caldecott


I just finished "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" by Brian Sleznick, winner of the 2008 Caldecott award. Very interesting story with amazing art work to carry the story forward. The former librarian in me knows that this book must be flying off the shelves. Don't let the thickness of the book frighten you. It's a short read, but a long 'look.'

For fun follow up information on automaton go here.

    I'm glad you liked this one, Laurel. I've heard great reviews about it. It's on my list of books to be read.

    I plan to give this one to TJ eventually. Emilia wants to try it first.
