2009 Newbery Award

Posted by deem on March 4, 2009

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman won this year’s Newbery Medal.  I have not had a chance to read the book but was very intrigued by its cover.

Yesterday I was catching up on my Google Reader and came across a post on Mrs. Hills’ Book Blog.  She found a great site containing the video of Neil Gaiman reading chapters from his Newbery award book.

While watching the video I became engrossed in the way Neil puts such emotion into his reading.  I am enjoying the videos and wish more authors would do read alouds of their books.  This is a great way to capture the kids and get them interested in the book and other books by the same author.

Listen to Neil Gaiman read his 2009 Newbery Award Book “The Graveyard Book” Visit http://hillbookblog.blogspot.com/
