1952 Caldecott Medal Winner I have no idea what medium the illustrator used for this--it looks very different from the previous Caldecott winners. Maybe that's why it won. Normally I don't like abstract illustrations as much, but I did like these--very striking pictures in black, white, red, and gold. A cute story about some dogs who go around asking various people to help them figure out which of them owns a bone that they found. In the end, a bigger dog tries to trick them and steals their bone, but they take him down together and... learn the value of friendship through violence? lol. Anyway, it was pretty cool, but not extraordinary.
