Newbery Medal Winners: 1922 - 2001
This is the complete list of Newbery Medal Winners from 1922 through 2001. Many of these books, even the oldest ones, can still be found on the library's shelves or through interlibrary loan. For your convenience, I've made the titles "clickable" to locations where you can purchase them either new or used. The reading level for most Newbery Medal Winners are for ages nine through twelve, though most can be read with interest by other reading levels.
There are links to other suggested reading lists at the bottom of this one for the Newbery Medal Winners. Also, I've found that many of these books are now available on audiocassette, some information on which should be available at each book's link.
