New Award Book

The Mildred L. Batchelder Award is given to the outstanding children's book translated from a foreign language and published in the United States. The award actually is given to the publisher, rather than the author. One of the honor books this year is:

The Cat, or, How I Lost Eternity - Jutta Richter
Eight-year-old Christine is late for school every day because a talking alley cat demands her attention, giving her much to think about as he tries to teach her to be spiteful and pitiless.
