---+ Blue Ribbon awards are awarded by _The Bulletin_ of the Center for Children's Books. It is awarded to the children's books that a panel of qualified judges believe represent the best of the previous year's literature for youth.
---++ %BLACK%According to the committee for the Blue Ribbon Award:%ENDCOLOR%
---++ %BLUE%"In the symbolism of heraldry, azure blue signifies sincerity. Among the Druids, blue was the symbol of truth; among the medieval Christians, blue was an emblem of immortality. In the United States--at county fairs, in spelling bees, in competitive events--the blue ribbon is the coveted prize, the symbol of the first place winner, the designation of an accomplishment not contained by regular parameters. When discussing possible titles for _The Bulletin_ Blue Ribbons list, our reviewers loyally present their favorites, while at the same time they sincerely attempt to understand one another's reservations and criticisms. We look for those titles that we believe will stand the tests of time, young readers, and changing literary fashions. The rigors of our discussions leave us tired and satisfied, and in possession of a list of Blue Ribbon titles we are proud to present to our readers." %ENDCOLOR%

---++++++ %BLACK%Terms and criteria%ENDCOLOR% %BLACK%for the Bulletin%ENDCOLOR%
<ol><li>
---+++ %BLACK% _The Bulletin_ of the Center for Children's Books is a book review journal for librarians, teachers, parents, and others interested in new children's books. _The Bulletin_ is a selective journal, reviewing approximately 900 of the over 5000 trade books published for children and young adults annually. Books reviewed include both recommended and not-recommended titles. %ENDCOLOR%
</li><li>
---+++ %BLACK%All of this can be found and is taken from %ENDCOLOR%[[http://bccb.lis.uiuc.edu/pubguide.html][%BLACK%http://bccb.lis.uiuc.edu/pubguide.html%ENDCOLOR%]]%BLACK%.%ENDCOLOR%
</li></ol>
%ENDCOLOR%%ENDCOLOR% 
---+++++ The aspects we believe the awarded books include:
<ol><li>
---+++ %BLUE%Throughout our books we observed that in many of them the main characters had obstacles that they had to overcome. For example, in _A Visitor For Bear_ the mouse has to help Bear realize that visitors can in fact be wonderful. Another example is in the book _Dizzy_, a young boy finds out that even though life is tough and it is easy to become bad he can be great when he plays his trumpet. Also he finds out that he doesn't have to follow the rules when he plays his music. He can in fact make up his own rules. %ENDCOLOR%
</li><li style="color: blue">
---+++ %BLUE% *Throughout our books that we saw that in many of them the illustrations were quite good, and went well with the story. For example in _Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!_ the illustrations show the emotions, and also go with the way the book is written. Another example of this is in _Lady Muck,_ in this book the illustrations are old fashioned, in which the language is also. Without these illustrations the books would not accomplish what they intended to.* %ENDCOLOR%
</li><li style="color: blue">
---+++ %BLUE% *In the set of books that we chose to read and report on, there was a definite sense of community. One example of this is in _Pictures From Our Vacation_, the children were not having that great of a time until all of their family was enjoying this vacation with them. In one spread, the kids are remembering the family being there, even after they left. The spread reiterates the sense of community the kids have with their family. Also, in _I Stink!_, the garbage truck is instilling a sense of community in the reader because although we may think that trash is gross, the garbage truck actually enjoys it, and thanks us for throwing our trash away! Although not every book may do this, the majority of them do.* %ENDCOLOR%
</li><li style="color: blue">
---+++ %BLUE%In our Blue Ribbon Award Winning books we found a similarity between the characters and their motives. For example in <em>John, Paul, George, and Ben </em>by Lane Smith and a _Keeper of Soles_ by Teresa Bateman, there was a need for the characters to fight for their life and liberties. John, Paul, George, and Ben are fighting for their rights and freedom in a tale of five youngsters who grew up to be the five founding fathers of the American Revolution. The other example comes from the character Colin in the book _Keeper of Soles_. In his story, Colin spends his time fighting for his survival by continuingly outwitting death. %ENDCOLOR%
</li><li style="color: blue">
---+++ %BLUE%Blue Ribbon Award wining books also share a common thread when it comes to style of the pictures. The pictures in _Ugly Fish_ by Kara Lareau, _Keeper of Soles_, and _John, Paul, George_, _and Ben_ are all drawn in a cartoonish style. This particular style aids the books by allowing their more serious topics, of death and war, to not present too daunting of a tone. So by having the cartoon style the books can talk about serious topics in a lighter way%ENDCOLOR%.
</li><li style="color: blue">
---+++ <font color="#0000cd">Blue Ribbon Award Winning books also share a theme of excitement. In _Cool Daddy Rat_, _Clip Clop_, _Looking For a Moose_, and _Meet Wild Boars_ each story has somewhat of an adventure the characters must go on. For example, in _Looking For A Moose_, the children go on an adventure in search to find a moose. Another example is in _Meet Wild Boars_. The Wild Boars are trying to prove they are nice boars but keep running into the problem of them being "wild." The authors are trying to make the story exciting and loud and these examples prove that is what happens. 
</li><li style="color: blue">
---+++ %BLUE%An additional aspect that the Blue Ribbon Award books that we read have in common is a sense of family togetherness. Particularly in __Put it on the List__ and __Surprise Soup__. For example, in Put it on the List a family of chickens repeatedly runs out of commonly used items in their house. After several occurrences of this, the family decides that working together to create a list would make it easier to remember to get the things they need before they run out. This display of a cooperative family is also shown in Surprise Soup. When Mama bear is coming home from the hospital with a new baby, Papa bear, big brother Josh, and little brother Kevie decide to surprise her with the best soup ever. They find that their teamwork makes the soup an excellent creation, with the addition of Kevie’s secret ingredient.  %ENDCOLOR%
</li><li style="color: blue">
---+++ %BLUE%Another common theme that the Blue Ribbon Award books that we read have is a dedication to creativity and individuality. In __Naked Mole Rat gets Dressed and __The Pencil__ we see an abundance of celebration for the characters being individuals and for their individual creativity. In __Naked Mole Rat gets Dressed__ we see that a particular mole, Wilbur, has a facination with wearing clothing, which is odd for the community he lives in. After much discouragement from his peers, the town guru is told of Wilbur's odd facination, and to everyones surprise, he actually likes Wilbur's idea about clothes. From then on his individual style, as well as others that take on the trend, are celebrated. We also see this celebration of creativity in __The Pencil__. In this book a lonely pencil uses the blank canvas around him to create friends, a town, even a paint brush that creatively gives the pencil's unique drawings color. We see how creativity can be a wonderful thing, and how a persons individual talents should be celebrated.%ENDCOLOR% 
</li><li style="color: blue">
---+++ %BLUE% A common similarity that we also saw with our books was a goal that couldn't be accomplished without a team effort. We see this particularly in __Bog Baby__ and __Mik’s Mammoth__. In __Bog Baby__ two little girls find a bog down in a pond they were told not to visit. When they find this baby bog they take it home and take care of it together. They build a little home for him with pebbles and everything they think he will need. When the bog baby gets home sick, the girl’s mother helps them return him to his pond.  We also see this need for team work in __Mik’s Mammoth__. When Mik is left behind by his tribe, he befriends a baby mammoth. Together they come up with innovative ways to survive. Their inventions, like the wheel, can only be accomplished with the cooperation of both Mik and his mammoth.%ENDCOLOR%
