What makes them "Distinguished"? 

Remember the Caldecott Criteria:

Do the pictures show the reader something that happens in the plot that the words don’t?

Do the pictures help the reader understand the characters?

Do the pictures help communicate the setting?

Do the pictures tie in with the mood?

Do the pictures connect to the book’s theme?
