2013 Newbery Medal Winner                                The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate Ivan’s transformative emergence from the “Ape at Exit 8” to “The One and Only Ivan, Mighty Silverback,” comes to life through the gorilla’s own distinct narrative voice, which is filled with wry humor, deep emotion and thought-provoking insights into the nature of friendship, hope and humanity. “Katherine Applegate gives readers a unique and unforgettable gorilla’s-eye-view of the world that challenges the way we look at animals and at ourselves,” said Newbery Medal Committee Chair Steven Engelfried.                                                              2013 Honor Books Splendors and Glooms by Laura Amy Schiltz Bomb: the Race to Build by Steve Sheinkin Three Times Lucky by Sheila Turnage                    Click to read more info             2013 Caldecott Medal Winner                                      This is Not My Hat                                    illustrated  & written by Jon Klassen In this darkly humorous tale, a tiny fish knows it’s wrong to steal a hat. It fits him just right. But the big fish wants his hat back. Klassen’s controlled palette, opposing narratives and subtle cues compel readers to follow the fish and imagine the consequence.“With minute changes in eyes and the slightest displacement of seagrass, Klassen’s masterful illustrations tell the story the narrator doesn’t know,” Caldecott Chair Sandra Imdieke said.                                        2013 Honor Books Creepy Carrots! illustrated by Peter Brown, written by aaron Reynolds Extra Yarn illustrated by Jon Klassen & written by Mac Barnett Green illustrated and written by Laura Vaccaro Seeger Read about these Award Winners plus many more at   Association for Library Service to Children
