2006 Newbery Honor Book
In Whittington, Armstrong creates a wonderful barnyard fantasy that weaves together three stories: Whittington the cat’s arrival on Bernie’s farm, his retelling of the traditional legend of his 14th-century namesake, and a boy’s struggle to learn to read. These three stories bring the disparate citizens of the barn community together in a remarkable example of oral and written language, the power of friendship and the joys of a life.

About Tiny Treasury

It's impossible to get rid of a bad children's book once it has entered your house. In fact, if history teaches us anything, it's that it will become a favorite. Your child will cling to it, sleep with it and worst yet, require you to read it over and over again.

At tinytreasury.com, our mission is separate the good from the bad. If I can save one parent from having to read a rhyming book about dancing pigs, then I'll know I've done my job.
