 I know that the NLS avoids childrens books that are too visual, but I still wanted to see which Caldecott winners and honors have made it in to the collection.  Please feel free to add to or edit the list.  I have looked up most titles, now it's just a matter of sorting my data and making it presentable on the wiki.
