Are you looking for beginning readers for your child that your child will enjoy? If so, consider the annual
Theodor Seuss Geisel Award winners and Honor Books. The Award, which was named after the creator of the Dr. Seuss books, recognizes excellence in beginning reader books. In addition to the Geisel Medal winner, three children’s beginning readers were designated Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Honor Books in 2007.
The 2007 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Winner:
The 2007 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award winner is author and illustrator Laura McGee Kvasnosky who was honored for her beginning reader book
Zelda and Ivy: The Runaways. The book was published by Candlewick Press.
”The popular fox sisters return in this book with three adventures precipitated by their need to avoid the dreaded cucumber sandwiches dad is preparing. Strong character development and a superb book design that showcases framed gouache paintings combine to encourage young readers to reach the trio of hilarious outcomes.” (ALA Media Release, January 22, 2007)
