Every year the American Library Association Awards the

Theodor Geisel Award to the best

Early Childhood Book of the year.

Let’s learn about this award for beginner reader books, who this famous author was and read one of the books that won.

​

​

This famous author’s parents owned a bakery and his mom taught him the names of all the pies by teaching him a rhyming song at bedtime.

​

​

Fun Fact

​

This made him fall in love with rhyming.

This mystery author went to school in NY then to Oxford University in England. His father wanted him to become a Doctor. Instead he became an artist.

​

​

His friend told him he should be an artist because he was so good at drawing.

This award winning author worked in an advertising agency making commercial ads for bug spray and sugar,...

​

​

​

​

...he later became an artist for the Saturday Evening Post weekly magazine.

​

​

​

​

Today some of his older artwork is

CONTROVERSIAL.

​

This author has been criticized for not being sensitive to other cultures early on in his career, so he wrote a book about that too and learned to be more diverse.

Controversial means causing a disagreement or an argument.

​

DIVERSE means to be sensitive, kind and aware of other people’s background who are different from ourselves.

This mystery author wrote a rhyming book for fun, with silly characters and it got the attention of educators who wanted him to make a book that they could use to teach reading in school. So he did.

​

Schools used to use the Books Fun with Dick and Jane. They were not very fun and the characters always looked the same.

​

​

This mystery author had this award named after him for his contribution to children’s literature. It is given each year to the best early childhood book of the year.

​

Here are some books that won this award!

​

Even though he is both an AUTHOR and an ILLUSTRATOR, he sometimes writes the WORDS ONLY and has a different artist make the illustrations. On these books he uses a different name ...Theo LeSieg

Have you guessed this famous author yet?

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

It’s Dr. Seuss!

His real name is

Theodor Seuss Geisel.

​

​

​

​

Dr. Seuss was so good at rhyming and kids loved his books so much that he was challenged to make a book with only 50 words in it, so he did!

​

​

Let’s read from one of the books

that won this award.

Are you ready to play outside? , by Mo Willems.

How many stars would you give this book?

​

Fun Fact

​

Like Dr. Seuss,

Mo Willems also went to school in New York, lived in London, England , and wrote a book for fun before becoming a children’s author.

​

Mo Willems also worked as a writer for

Sesame Street.
