The Newbery Award is given for the most distinguished contribution to literature for children up to fourteen years of age. “Mrs. Hitter’s book case” does especially need more book’s for the children who are a little older, the third, fourth and fifth graders. These books will help fill that gap. More information about these stories is on the Newbery web site:
