Your Giant Caldecott can be . . .

. . . an extraordinary prank sun.

. . . a striking clock.

. . . an impressive pizza serving platter.

. . . a dramatic spare tire.

. . . a splendid shield.

. . . an imposing necklace medallion.
Or, yeah, I suppose you could use it for your Mock Caldecott bulletin board.
The others are more fun, though.
