Subject: Strieber Won A Caldecott? Come Again?


Well, _someone_ is certainly confused!

 >>He noted that the last such honor he had received was a
 >>Caldecott award in 1985, and that his career had swerved quite
 >>far from the "awards track" soon thereafter as he suffered the
 >>experiences that would later become the book Communion.

Poor Whit! He's really lost it... Whitley Strieber has never won
"a Caldecott award" in 1985 or any other year. Either he
misspoke, someone misreported or the greys have really taken
control of poor Whit's brain cells more than even he assumes!

The Randolph Caldecott medal is awarded annually to an
illustrated children's book. There _is_ an illustrated
childrens' book about alien abduction, called "Ceto's New
Friends." But Whit didn't write it or illustrate it and, in any
case, it's not exactly Caldecott material. Here's a reader
review from Amazon:

    "Simple text about an unusual friendship. This simple text
    will be reassuring to children who have been visited by a
    "playmate" like Ceto -- in their dreams or otherwise. The
    storyline follows the apparent facts about aliens as reported
    in myriad encounter cases without being scary (Ceto speaks
    with his eyes and enters his spaceship on a beam of light).
    With a hint of adventure (Annie and Seth take a ride in
    Ceto's spaceship), the book will delight beginning readers
    who are already hearing about aliens on TV, in movies and in
    books."


Purrrrs...
