Maybe Underpants of captain Needs not a Meddaille of Newberry after all. In his place, Erica S. Perl offers the opinion that reserves that takes creative risks deserve the recognition by the ALA for the Meddaille of prestigious Newberry.

Mrs Perl writes that the "NewberryaeŠ chooses books not very conventionalaeŠ [that] their data a chance of fight". Because of the methods not very conventional taken by the author, the chance of a parent, a lot of less their children, take the book and find is interested in the it is thin; the Meddaille of Newberry offers the books "eccentric" that a chance to pass time in the star. And while passing time in the star, money is done.

This item seems to be more of a financial argument than a literary argument ae" although it cannot be evident to the first blow of eye. There are allusions that the books not very conventional count on the financial progress does in recevoant the Newberry, but it immediately is envelopped by a mantra of "following your wanders around internal," to mislead the reader of think about the true reason why rewards it was created in first place. With the reward reception, the book sales the exponentially increase of the exposition and becomes stocked in the libraries all around the country just like in the houses and the schools. Approve, therefore and Underpants of captain or Hen flesh? Apparently they are not rather artistic for the ALA (although the choice your own scenario in hen Flesh was the genius) and in an important way, they do well without a nomination for the Meddaille of Newberry. If Good Masters! Soft ladies! should omit reception of the reward, it does the most probable one is in the can to price reduces with Barbie: Rapunzel and the Case of the Beard and Casper The Friendly Ghost in Ghostland.
If the Reward of Newberry it really is based on artistic ingenuousness or is used it as a means to take advantage of the unobserving masses? This not to be evident? The two.
