This year's Newbery and Caldecott award winners have been announced - always worth checking out. The Newbery went to Neil Gaiman for The Graveyard Book (ages 8-12). You can read his cute blog post about finding out here. The Caldecott went to The House in the Night (ages 4-7), illus. by Beth Krommes.
Also, I have smart friends with kids, and some of them have recently recommended some good reads:
Shan recommends Our Nest (for the 0-3 set).
Mom and Kiddo recommend Keats's Neighborhood: An Ezra Jack Keats Treasury (ages 4-7).
Ellen recommends Ellen's Lion: Twelve Stories by Crockett Johnson (ages 4-7).
You can get 'em all in the bookstore (for keeps) or at your local library (for temps). Enjoy!
