Caldecott Nomination
My nomination for the Caldecott award is A Perfect Day by Lane Smith. Following
the different perspectives of backyard animals, Smith describes the perfect day
for all of the critters in the book, including a cat, dog, squirrel, and bear.
Not only are the pictures beautiful and expansive, usually going across both
pages, but the book is a great way for children to learn about animal habits
and ecosystems.
The book
can also emphasize point-of-view and perspective. With a 260 Lexile Level, the
book is great for young children, and the fun story and colorful pictures are
what make it a noteworthy Caldecott nomination.
