GA Review

On looking over the article, I have fears that it doesn't meet the GA criteria for breadth of coverage. I would suggest doing a little more research. What have critics said about the book? How does the poetry in this book compare to Blake, specifically? Did it win any other awards? Since it may take some time to increase the coverage, I'm going to fail the nomination for now, but feel free to reapply when it has more breadth and references. On a side note, inline citations may be a good idea as well. For more ideas on expansion, take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels and examine some of their better articles.

Thanks for the suggestions. The WikiProject Novels area is not much help, since this isn't a work of narrative fiction; it really is just fifteen poems. I can certainly add review citations and other awards it might have won. As for "comparing to Blake," that's a common preconception people have about the book. I suppose I might disabuse them of that notion in the article. DaleLyles 11:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I realized that about the novels project after I posted it, but something can probably be gained, if not from that, then from the poetry or other projects out there. Wrad 14:54, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Newbery winner, Caldecott runner-up

This is the only book whose writer(s) and illustrator(s) were Newbery Medal winners and Caldecott Medal runners-up respectively.

If and when we learn the facts, we should say, vice versa, whether any Caldecott-winning book is a Newbery Honor Book and also whether and when the rules permit(ted) one person to win both Medals for one book.

I suppose that dual attainment of serious consideration --as well as the formal runner-up status of Honor Books, of course-- was and is unusual because picture books alone are eligible for the Caldecott. Potential recognition as the year's best in American children's literature may be impossible or nearly so for picture book prose text, in contrast to Nancy Willard's verse.
