Award Books: Newbery Medal

"The Newbery Medal is awarded annually by the American Library Association for the most distinguished American children's book published the previous year." Named for John Newbery, it is "the first children's book award in the world. Its terms, as well as its long history, continue to make it the best known and most discussed children's book award in this country." -- ALSC Newbery Medal
