HIT: Newbery/Caldecott video

[Charlotte Lesser <clesser@MAIL.SAU38.ORG>]

Here's my original post:
I was wondering whether there was a video(s) available (in print) on the
Caldecott and Newbery awards.  I know that many of the individual books have
been made into videos but I'm looking for an overview/explanation of the two
awards geared for elementary aged children.  The two could be combined on
one video or one for each award - it doesn't matter.
----------------------

No one responded - does that count as a hit? ;-)  except other people
interested in finding out if any videos exist!

One person let me know that Scholastic has a free video for Coretta Scott
King Award.

I contacted ALSC and asked them if one existed, and suggested that if it
didn't they might want to consider having one made.  Here's ALSC's reply:
----------------------------
Dear Ms. Lesser:

As you guessed, ALA/ALSC does not have a Newbery/Caldecott video.  Thanks
for the great suggestion.  I will pass it along, though I think that the
high costs of professional video production and studio time would probably
be prohibitive.

Sincerely,
Laura Schulte-Cooper

If you think this is a good idea why not let ALSC know that you would
purchase such a video for your collection.

Thanks!
