1) Library Binding Book Randolph J. Caldecott and the Story of the Caldecott Medal (Great Achievement Awards) by Mitchell Lane Publishers. "Randolph Caldecott and the Story of the Caldecott Medal" is a good book for the intended age level of the audience. So much more is known about Caldecott than the space allows. The information included is generally accurate, although some of the transitions seem to be conjectures instead of fact. Note about the other reviews: later printings of the book do not have the "J" in Caldecott´s name.
The best thing about the book are the fabulous color illustrations including several photographs of people and scenes, plus many illustrations done by both Caldecott and other illustrators of the time.
My primary qualification for reviewing this book is that I´ve also written a biography of Caldecott, but for an older audience.¤ 2) Library Binding Book Randolph J. Caldecott and the Story of the Caldecott Medal (Great Achievement Awards) by Mitchell Lane Publishers. The Randolph Caldecott Society of America has made contact with the American Library Association and had it confirmed that ALA did not "approve" the use of the initial "J" for this new book. ALA is aware that there is no "J" in Caldecott´s name. The Randolph Caldecott Society of America

According to Randolph Caldecott´s birth certificate, marriage certificate, and death certificate there is NO initial "J" in his name. Too frustrating that Mr. Bankston did not contact one of the two societies in memory of Randolph Caldecott for information rather than depend on the long time error supported by the American Library Association.
