2016 Books from Geisel Winners

March 2, 2016 by Travis Jonker   2 comments

2016 Geisel

What better way to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday than by looking at new books from past (Theodor Seuss) Geisel winners? There are probably a couple better ways I suppose but, you know, on such short notice it might be hard to change plans here.

Listing all the new books from past Geisel winners is tricky, because it’s an award that goes to both the author and illustrator. For this post, I tried to stick with new books that would likely fall under the Geisel consideration umbrella – picture books and early readers. For example, Kate DiCamillo has won a couple Geisels (an Honor for Mercy Watson and Medal for Bink & Gollie) and she has a new book coming, but since it’s middle grade (and not intended for “beginning readers” as the criteria states), I didn’t include it here.

If I missed any, let me know in the comments.
