Some of you may remember how much I loved the book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, by Brian Selznick. In particular, I thought its use of mixed media made it an unusual book that told a very powerful and intriguing story. The audio book is also pretty amazing and it comes with a DVD interview in which Selznick talks about writing the book, which I show to my sixth graders.
Well, Hugo netted the esteemed Caldecott Medal for 2008.
What? Never heard of Hugo? Maybe this award will serve notice on this great book. (See the Hugo Cabret website too.)
Peace (in picture books that are not quite picture books),
