2006 Award
Tacky and the WInter Games
(by Helen Lester/illus. by Lynn Munsinger, Houghton Mifflin $16 Score:
) Everybody’s favorite penguin is back. This time, Tacky is a member of a team trying to get in shape. But Tacky has his own idea of how to do that and the results are not exactly what his teammates had in mind. Lively language and images—with silly antics that make up for the lackluster ending. 4 & up.

If You Give a Pig a Party
(by Laura Numeroff/illus. by Felicia Bond, HarperCollins $15.99 Score:
) Once again, this award-winning team has come up with a universal theme and what one expects will be predictable outcomes—but soon after the balloons, the book takes a left turn as Pig and her friend go looking for Pig’s friends and end up at a street fair. One surprise follows another in this newest addition to a fine series. 4 & up.

The Witch's Walking Stick
(by Susan Meddaugh, Houghton Mifflin $16 Score:) With an economy of words and lively illustrations, the creator of Martha, the talking dog, has created a new cast of winning characters: a nasty witch who gets her comeuppance, and a little sister who teaches her older siblings a few lessons. Meddaugh takes familiar fantasy material and makes it fresh with her own brand of humor. Her art and wit make her a worthy successor to William Steig. 5 & up.

Because Your Daddy Loves You
(by Andrew Clements/illus. by R.W. Alley, Clarion $16 Score:
) How refreshing! A Daddy book that follows a patient and loving daddy through the day. Dad avoids saying the typical critical remarks, but Clements has it both ways; he says what the daddy didn’t say and then what he really does say as he kindly makes a day at the beach a happy time together. In a way, Clements models some great parenting strategies along with a pleasing story. 3–5.
