2002 Award
(by G. Brian Karas, Greenwillow $15.95 Score:

2001 Award
(by Katie Couric/ illus. by Marjorie Priceman, Doubleday $15.95 Score:
) Kids who are starting in a new school, as well as kids who are returning will relate to this little story of being an outsider.

Award Year: 2001.
2002 Award
(by Sharon Creech/illus. by Harry Bliss, HarperCollins $16 Score:
) Our readers were tickled by this tale of a school principal who thought his students, teachers, and school were so fine, that they should come on weekends, holidays, and even during the summer! He finally realizes that too much of a good thing is not so great. 5 & up.
Age: Early School Years. Award Year: 2002.
2002 Award
(by Stephanie Calmenson/illus. by Denise Brunkus, Scholastic $16 Score:

Award
(by Margery Cuyer/illus. by Arthur Howard, Simon & Schuster $16 Score:) In a sequel to 100th Day Worries, our worrier Jessica is overwhelmed with fears about all the serious stuff that she needs to remember about fire prevention. Amusing and informative! 5–8.

2002 Award
(by Judge Judy Sheindlin/illus. by Bob Tore, HarperCollins $14.95 Score:
) Using well-known sayings that you probably heard as you were growing up, Judge Judy has constructed hypothetical situations with multiple-choice solutions. Like her first book, this is a good book for sharing with kids and oiling the wheels for talking through some touchy but typical dilemmas kids face. 7–12.
Age: Early School Years,Later School Years. Award Year: 2002.
2005 Award
(Katie Couric/illus. by Marjorie Priceman, Random House $17.95 Score:

Award Year: 2005.
2005 Award
(Teresa Bateman/illus. by Jackie Urbanovic, Whitman $15 Score:
) Lotty and a lot of others are bothered by a bully in school who knows just when to annoy others—when the teacher is not looking. Lotty cleverly finds a solution. A good choice for a not-so-uncommon problem. 5 & up. Age: Early School Years. Award Year: 2005.
2005 Award
(Alison McGhee/illus. by Harry Bliss, Harcourt $16 Score:
) The first grade teacher is thought to be an alien who steals teeth from her students. Of course, the reality is much more comforting; students who lose a tooth get a piece of candy. Learning not to believe everything people tell you is an important message. 5 & up. Age: Early School Years. Award Year: 2005.
