Медаль Калдекотта — 76 книг

Song of the Swallows, which won the Caldecott Medal when it was first published in 1948, was written and illustrated by Leo Politi, one of Los Angeles’ most beloved artists.

It tells the famous story of the yearly return of the swallows to the Mission San Juan Capistrano through the eyes of a small child. Julian, the bell ringer of the Mission, tells Juan, a young boy who also lives at the Mission, the story of the swallows and how—without anyone really knowing why or how—they return each year from their winter home in South America to San Juan Capistrano in California. Thrilled by the story, Juan makes his own small garden in the hope that at least one family of swallows will nest there when they return.

This delightful book also includes the music and lyrics for “La Golondrina,” a song about the swallows that Politi composed himself, and Spanish phrases are sprinkled throughout the story. This book provides a delightful introduction for young children California’s centuries-old Latino heritage and Mission culture.

Вечно с этой Мадлен что-нибудь случается! На этот раз она решила удивить подруг и пройтись по парапету Нового моста. И, конечно, свалилась в Сену. Не видать бы нам больше храброй и озорной Мадлен, если б не простая бездомная дворняга, которая вытянула ее из воды. Теперь собака по имени Женевьева следует за девочками повсюду - в школу, на урок музыки, на прогулку. Но не все так спокойно и радостно на тихой улочке с мощеными тротуарами. В пансион приезжает строгая комиссия...
Неужели с такой доброй, с такой умной собакой все-таки придется расстаться? Неужели Мадлен бросит друга в беде?

There is perhaps no better loved, no more universal story than "Cinderella." Almost every country in the world has a version of it, but the favorite of story-tellers is the French version by Charles Perrault.
This translation is excellent for story-telling and also for reading aloud. Marcia Brown's illustrations are full of magic and enchantment from the little cupids putting back the hands of the clock to the last scene at the palace. They are pictures that will stay in a child's mind.

Английская, шотландская и американская народная песенка, которой уже почти 500 лет. Она столь же популярна на английском, как наша "Муха-цокотуха", и чем-то очень схожа с нею. Это первое издание на русском языке. Перевод сделан с издания Джона Лангстаффа, которое иллюстрировал наш знаменитый соотечественник Фёдор Степанович Рожанковский. Именно в таком виде эта чудесная песенка стала классикой мировой литературы.

Trees are beautiful. They fill up the sky. If you have a tree, you can climb up its trunk, roll in its leaves, or hang a swing from one of its limbs. Cows and babies can nap in the shade of a tree. Birds can make nests in the branches. A tree is good to have around. A tree is nice.

"Out on the islands that poke their rocky shores above the waters of Penobscot Bay, you can watch the time of the world go by, from minute to minute, hour to hour, from day to day..." So begins McCloskey's classic story of one summer on a Maine island. The spell of rain, the gulls and a foggy morning, the excitement of sailing, the quiet of the night, the sudden terror of a hurrican, and, in the end, the peace of the island as the family packs up to leave are shown in poetic language and vibrant, evocative pictures.
