An Un-Calibrated Centrifuge
A Ball for Daisy
It makes sense for the Caldecott to honor wordless picture books. An author who can tell a compelling story just through their illustrations is of course worthy of praise and accolades. That said, I don't really like wordless picture books. This is just a personal preference. When reading a picture book having words enhances the experience (usually... in a bad picture book it can confuse the reading experience).
Last year I read Anno's Journey and that had enough interest and complexity that I read it several times (and would read it again). A Ball for Daisy doesn't have quite the same appeal.
