Do you have a favorite book from 2008? What would you recommend for the best picture book (Caldecott Award) or the best chapter book (Newbery Award)? I have some favorites in both categories. I wonder if they will win? There are so many wonderful book from which to choose.

Luckily, we are all winners when we read good books!
