Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-This title continues the series that started with A Newbery Christmas (Delacorte, 1991) and A Newbery Halloween (Doubleday, 1993). Eleven tales and one poem by ten authors are included; all have been previously published. The writers represented are diverse-Betsy Byars, Lloyd Alexander, Beverly Cleary, Virginia Hamilton, Robert Lawson, Jean Craighead George, Elizabeth Coatsworth, Paul Fleischman, Will James, and Charles Boardman Hawes. Unfortunately, the selections fail to excite or invite readers or listeners. Teachers and librarians would do better to read enticing passages from Newbery-winning books about animals than to use this rather tame volume.

From Booklist
Gr. 4-7. A companion of sorts to A Newbery Christmas and A Newbery Halloween, this anthology of stories serves several purposes: it provides a range of subjects to read about--from fireflies to moose; it exposes readers to various genres--from fables to ecological observations; and it introduces authors such as Beverly Cleary, Betsy Byars, and Jean Craighead George, allowing readers to sample their different writing styles. Because the stories will appeal to readers of diverse ages, the book will be attractive for family sharing, but the collection may work best as a means for reaching children who think they don't like to read. Short biographies of the authors included will be appended. Mary Harris Veeder
