I always thought that part of the criteria for a Caldecott is the illustrations
need to help tell the story. I think about "Officier Buckle and Gloria" and how the
story is changed without the illustrations. Even "Make Way for Ducklings" loses a
great deal of its charm without the expressions on the ducks' faces. Am I correct
in this being part of the criteria? That takes the emphasis off the artistic media
and puts the stress on how the pictures move the story along whether black and
white or vivid color.
