I’ve read nearly all of the Newbery Award books. Many are absolutely amazing. Where can I find the expired copyright ones online?

Oh, man…I can’t wait to share this with my kids!

Another fabulous steampunky kids book is the Caldecott award winner _Flotsam_ by David Wiesner. No text, just gorgeous illustration. I reviewed it here.

This is a fantastic book. Another children’s book I highly recommend for all or the steampunk/alt history folks is The Arrival, by Shaun Tan (see images at his website here:http://www.shauntan.net/books.html).

I know that publishy types were sad that this book was ineligible for the Caldecott, had it been, it would have been a strong contender. I bought a bunch of copies at a conference last weekend for kids in my life and have already managed to give them all away to adults…
