A New ‘Most Valuable Children’s Picturebook’<\/h2>\n
\n
\"The <\/p>\n

Previous to the July 2007 PBA Galleries auction, we had listed Maurice Sendak’s Where The Wild Things Are<\/em><\/strong>, the 1964 Caldecott Medal winning book, as the most valuable picturebook in the The Children’s Picturebook Price Guide<\/em><\/strong>. At the PBA auction, a copy of Where The Wild Things Are<\/em><\/strong> sold for a respectable $6,900. See here for actual auction description and results.<\/a><\/p>\n

On the same day, at the same auction, the first edition Curious George<\/em><\/strong> sold for $21,850<\/a>, and a first edition The LIttle House<\/em><\/strong>, the 1943 Caldecott Medal winning book, sold for $9,775<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In our Children’s Picturebook Price Guide<\/em><\/strong> we listed the first edition Where The Wild Things Are<\/em><\/strong> as the most valuable picturebook. Obviously, this is no longer true. We now consider Curious George<\/em><\/strong> the most valuable children’s picturebook.<\/p>\n

Even though The Little House<\/em><\/strong> sold for nearly $10,000, we do not consider it to be the most valuable Caldecott Medal winning book. Instead, we think Robert McCloskey’s Make Way For Ducklings<\/em><\/strong>, the 1942 Caldecott Medal book, would be the most valuable Caldecott, followed by Virginia Lee Burton’s The Little House<\/em><\/strong>. The first edition Where The Wild Things Are<\/em><\/strong> would be the third most valuable Caldecott Medal book, and the fourth most valuable children’s picturebook.<\/p>\n
