Ox-Cart Man
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ox-Cart Man (ISBN 0-14-050441-9) is the title of a 1979 book written by Donald Hall and illustrated by Barbara Cooney. It won the 1980 Caldecott Medal. The book deals with an 18th century farming family that uses an ox-cart to take their goods to market, where they make the money to buy the things they need.
Ox-Cart Man was originally published in an October 3, 1977 edition of The New Yorker as a poem; Hall revised the poem greatly to create a children's book and chose Barbara Cooney for its illustrations. Cooney was the illustrator of another Caldecott Medal-winning book, Chanticleer and the Fox.[1]
