The Year's Best Read-Alouds

-- Publishers Weekly, 4/2/2007

The Association of Booksellers for Children has just announced the winners of the 2007 E.B. White Read-Aloud Awards. Houndsley and Catina by James Howe, illustrated by Marie-Louise Gay (Candlewick), won in the picture book category, and Alabama Moon, a first novel by Watt Key (FSG), won for older readers. The picture book award was started in 2004 to honor books that reflect the read-aloud standards set by the work of author E.B. White; last year the ABC added the older reader category. The awards will be presented at the ABC's annual dinner during BookExpo America.
