Newbery vs. Caldecott

The Newbery Medal and Caldecott Medal are both awarded by the Association for Library Service to Children.  The ALSC is a division of the American Library Association.  The Newbery Medal is awarded each year "to the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children published in English in the United States during the preceding year."  The Caldecott Medal is awarded each year "to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children published in English in the United States during the preceding year."  In my opinion, one isn't better than the other, only different in style.  The Caldecott award winners are picture book oriented whereas the Newbery award winners are based on the author's interpretation of a story.  Both are highly honorable awards among children's literature.
