Newbery Award
The Newbery Medal, named after 18th-century British bookseller John Newbery, is one of the most prestigious awards in children's literature. Established in 1922 by the American Library Association (ALA), the Newbery Medal is awarded annually to the author of the most distinguished American children's book published in the previous year. The award committee evaluates nominees based on literary quality, originality, presentation, and relevance to childrens literature. The book should demonstrate excellence in narrative and character development, as well as appeal to the intended audience. In addition to the medal winner, the committee also designates several Honor Books each year. These titles are recognized for their merit and are considered outstanding contributions to childrens literature, though they do not receive the medal.

Praise for Aunt Claire Presents
"If you know of any girls who like to read, and to whom you would like to introduce the old-time series books that so many of us enjoy, I would gladly suggest that you consider these modern reprints. And, in fact, you might want to buy a second set for yourself."
--Yellowback Library
"I've found that vintage series books are an excellent alternative to modern children's books. These wholesome series books are filled with excitement and adventure--my kids genuinely love them!"
--Judy Hoch, contentedathome.com
"If you're looking for a strong female role model with a strong dose of history, Aunt Claire Presents, published by Laboratory Books, is just what you need!"
--homeschoolhideout.com
"I love the look of the books. The cover art is a great combination of old-world charm mixed with modern colors and design. What is even better to me is that if you remove the dust jacket, you can see the vintage cover hidden underneath. . . . These would make great Christmas gifts for your middle-grade, adventure-loving daughters."
--Betsy Strauss, familystyleschooling.com
"These books lend themselves very well to use as history supplements. . . . Of great value in these books is the section at the beginning entitled 'A Note from Aunt Claire' which provides excellent background information for the stories."
--Sallie Borrink, sallieborrink.com
"With so much of the middle-grade fiction published today full of themes entirely inappropriate for a sensitive six-year-old, books for an accelerated reader can be incredibly hard to find. . . . I'm so thankful for throwback chapter books, like these 1910 novels re-released under the series name Aunt Claire Presents, published by Laboratory Books. These books are big on adventure, but nil on romance--so perfect for my tiny, voracious reader."
--Gina Munsey, oaxacaborn.com
Rating: 9 diamond butterfly pendants out of 10 for bringing back a classic tale and introducing it to a whole new generation of readers!
