Those Valued Volumes
1999
Those Valued Volumes is a site dedicated to book awards and summaries of some books that won them. Its educational purpose is to teach people about the featured awards and books that have won them. It features links to further informational sites, graphics, and a quiz about each featured award and book. The summaries include just enough information to give the reader a good idea of what the book is about, but leaves them hungry for more. The pages about the awards themselves give info on the criteria, founding, history, and random facts. The quiz is in three parts, each section asking questions about the certain award and book that won. The awards included are the Newbery, Caldecott, and Mark Twain.
