They Were Good and Strong by Robert Lawson

This children's book which won The Caldecott Medal in 1941,. over 60 years ago caught my eye when I was working as a Teacher-Librarian. It was never very popular with children.
Maybe already 30 to 40 years old. Fashions change.? American history? . My book "They Came to Armidale" did not seem to grab children. Many people have said "Your family will be interested" I will try and test Lachlan (my grandson ) reading both books and contrasting comparing?
