In this episode, I talk about the 1923 Newbery Medal! It was the second year of the Newbery, and there was only one Newbery Medal winner. So, I also talk about the first Doctor Doolittle book and another book for children written in 1922.

I talked about the plots, the writing style, the major problems with them, and my general thoughts about them, and why they should be read or not in our day!
