My 21-79 Newberys Ranked

When I was ranking these, I had fun thinking again about each book.  It is amazing how many of them I really did like!  I know teachers often assign kids to read a Newbery winner for book reports; this is a great assignment.  The Newbery winners include something for everyone to like, and kids should know there are some really short ones.  Happy Reading!
