With a fresh look and format, locating information on the award-winning books is easier than ever before. The new format of ""Newbery and Caldecott Awards: A Guide to the Medal and Honor Books, 2009 Edition"" is accompanied by Kathleen T. Horning's new essay, ""Newbery and Caldecott Medal Books: Revised, Revamped, and Revitalized,"" which explores the topic of new editions and bibliographic citations for updated works. The 2009 edition also includes notes indicating those Caldecott Medal winners and Honor Books that have been revised and republished with new art.
