So many wonderful details! When was the last time you saw double endpapers (four at the front and four at the back)? I see a lot of books on Caldecott lists that have none at all. And although a book can be great without them, they add a lot when they’re well done.

When I was researching Mike Mulligan, I learned that Virginia Lee Burton was one of the first to champion endpapers and say that authors and publishers should draw children’s eyes into a book right away. For my money, those in Mike Mulligan are still some of the best. And Carin Berger’s are certainly among this year’s best.
