Calling Caldecott has been back at it for a while, featuring guest reviewers taking a closer look at Watercress, The Rock from the Sky, Unspeakable, and more (I have a review coming up on there as well).

The O.G. of mock blogs – Heavy Medal – has also been back at it for a bit, scoping out novels that might make the cut, but also chapter books, picture books, and nonfiction.
