    Amazing information on a top source of great literature. I tend to follow Pulitzer Prize winners but might need to add some of these to my reading list. Thank you for sharing!

    Growing up the Newberry books were always a badge on the cover that yelled out to me, "Read Me!" Great lens!

    If a book has won the Newberry Medal I buy it because I know that I will love it - even as an adult. Beautiful lens - Angel Blessed

    At your number 1 position is one of my all-time favorite books. A Wrinkle in Time. It gives me the chills just thinking about it.

    Since I retired from being a school librarian/teacher, I've gotten away from reading the Newbery books. Thanks for reminding me. Sprinkled with dust from the Angel of the farmyard on a Back to School Field Trip and featured on 70 Super Angel Blessed Squidoo Pages.

    Nice job! I loved many of these books when I was growing up. I haven't read any of the newer ones yet!
  • MarilynBriant May 23, 2011 @ 12:48 pm | delete
    I love your lens - I am inspired to submit my recently published book The Leopard and the Mouse by Marilyn Briant, to be considered for the Newbery Medal. I have had the most amazing and positive comments and compliments about my book and I truly believe that when you write from your heart, you reach the hearts of all those for whom you are writing.

    When running through the plexo, I was surprised that I had read so many of the books. Of course these are some of my favorite chapter books for children. I can hardly wait to read many of the others. Thank you for creating this Newbery Award Winning Books Lens.

    Do you know when the next Newbery Award will be anounced?

    Nice job! When my nieces were small I used to keep up with great children's books so I would know what to buy them. I've gotten away from that since they've grown, but your lens is a reminder of what I'm missing. Thanks!

    Oh, the Newbery Award! I don't think I have ever read a book which has earned a Newbery and been dissatisfied! Even though the award is given to "middle grade literature", these books are often very intriguing for people much older! After all, quality books are worth reading no matter what!
