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:

Nicholas and the Gang - Rene Goscinny
Nicholas is invited to a birthday party by the girl next door, plays a very messy game of chess, and learns that walking on your hands is much harder than turning somersaults.
