Answer to Question 1

Literary quality does have an element of subjectivity to it. It is possible that a book of little interest to children may receive an award due to its technical merits. Also, the book might not be appealing to children of all ages and interests. Finally, only a few books are chosen for the awards each year. There are a great many other fine works that do not receive awards. Using only Caldecott Medal winning books is too narrow a scope for choosing books.
