John Newbery Award Committee Manual
JOHN NEWBERY AWARD COMMITTEE MANUAL October 2009 John Newbery Award Committee Manual – Formatted August 2015 1 FOREWORD John Newbery The Newbery Medal is named for John Newbery (1713-1767), known as the first publisher of books for children. The son of a farmer, he married a widow who owned a printing business in Reading, England. They moved to London and, in 1743, Newbery published “A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, intended for the Instruction and Amusement of Little Master Tommy and Pretty Miss Polly, with an agreeable Letter to read from Jack the Giant-Killer, as also a Ball and a Pincushion, the use of which will infallibly make Tommy a good Boy and Polly a good Girl.” Although this was not the first book published for children (A Play-Book for Children was published by “J.G.” as early as 1694), Newbery was the first person to take children’s book publishing seriously, and many of his methods were copied by other authors and publishers. Newbery was an admirer of John Locke, who advocated teaching children through “some easy pleasant book, suited to his capacity.” Newbery’s books invariably had their didactic side, but he tempered instruction with a sense of humor. Works like Goody Two-Shoes, in which a poor but virtuous young woman is rewarded with riches, satisfied the moralists while providing a story with all the ups and downs of a modern soap opera. Other books on Newbery’s list included Aesop’s Fables, books of history and science, miscellanies, and even a children’s magazine, The Lilliputian Magazine, which contained stories, riddles, and songs. -

2008 National Book Festival
[ Music ] >> Each year, thousands of booklovers of all ages visit the nation's capital to celebrate the joys of reading and lifelong literacy at the National Book Festival, sponsored by the Library of Congress and hosted by First Lady Laura Bush. Now in its eighth year, this free event held on the National Mall Saturday, September 27th, will spark readers' passion for learning as they interact with the nation's bestselling authors, illustrators and poets. Even if you can't attend the festival in person, you can participate online. These podcasts with authors will be available through the Book Festival website at www.loc.gov/bookfest, and you can find a whole suite of other materials there as well. [ Music ] I now have the honor of talking with the well-known children's author, Jon Scieszka. In addition to authoring The Stinky Cheese Man and other Fairly Stupid Fairytales, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, and Smash Crash, which is part of his new Trucktown Series for young readers, Mr. Scieszka was recently named the first National Ambassador for Young People's Literature by Librarian of Congress James H. Billington. That position was created by the Library's Center for the Book, and the Children's Book Council, to raise national awareness of the importance of children's literature in fostering lifelong literacy and enriching the lives of young people. The recipient of several book award honors including the Publisher's Weekly Cuffies Award, and the Caldecott honor, Mr. Scieszka has also appeared on the Martha Stewart Show and NPR's All Things Considered. -

Timeliness and value mark the mission of JLG: to be the librarian’s partner. But how can JLG help librarians be partners with classroom teachers? With JLG Guides. JLG Guides are activity and reading guides written by people with experience in both children’s and educational publishing—in fact, many of them are former librarians or teachers. The JLG Guides are made up of activity guides for younger readers (grades K–3) and reading guides for older readers (grades 4–12), with some overlap occurring in grades 3 and 4. All guides are written with national and state standards as guidelines. Activity guides focus on providing activities that support specific reading standards; reading guides support various standards (reading, language arts, social studies, science, etc.), depending on the genre and topic of the book itself. JLG Guides can be used both for whole class instruction and for individual students. Pages are reproducible for classroom use only, and a teacher’s edition accompanies most JLG Guides. -
