"The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle" was one of the books in the "Doctor Dolittle" series by British author Hugh Lofting.

Answer: The White Stag

"The White Stag" was published in 1937 and followed the story of people crossing Europe to find their promised land, following a beautiful white stag -- a male deer -- to guide them. Their leader was a famous ruler named Attila the Hun. The book won the 1937 Newbery Medal.

3. "Johnny Tremain" is a book often assigned to students of American history. Johnny was a teenage silversmith apprentice in 1775 when a war broke out. What war was it?

Answer: The American Revolution

The American Revolution and the years leading up to it make for the time period of "Johnny Tremain", which won the Newbery Medal in 1944. In the story, which had both fictional and real characters, Johnny faced many adventures and challenges and even served as a spy for the revolutionaries.

Answer: Strawberry Girl

The realistic fictional book "Strawberry Girl" was published in 1945 and written by Lois Lenski. Lois was born in Ohio but visited Florida to research the location for this book, which won the Newbery Medal in 1946. Later, Lois liked Florida so much, that she moved there and live there for the rest of her life.

5. "The Summer of the ______ " is a book about a 14-year-old girl named Sarah who was determined to find Charlie, her little brother who had gone missing. What word goes in the blank?

Answer: Swans

"The Summer of the Swans" gets its title from a scene in the book where Sarah takes her little brother to visit swans who lived at a nearby lake. The book was written by Betsy Byars and won the Newbery Medal in 1971. Byars has written many books and two of her daughters are children's authors, too.

Answer: Lincoln: A Photobiography

"Lincoln: A Photobiography" is a beautiful book full of photos and drawings from many archival sources. One striking feature is how quickly President Lincoln aged during his administration, reputedly from the stress of leading a country at war with itself. When the book won the Newbery Medal in 1988, it was one of the few non-fiction books to win, the first in 30 years.

7. Can you name the book about one fish who steals something belonging to another fish? It was written and illustrated by Canadian Jon Klassen.

Answer: This is Not My Hat

The children's picture book "This Is Not My Hat" won the Caldecott Medal in 2013. The little fish who stole the hat didn't think the big fish who owned it would wake up from his nap anytime soon... but he was mistaken. The beautiful pictures show the chasing and hiding that ensued.

8. Can you name the picture book about bedtime at a special place? It involves a key, a bed, and the moon.

Answer: The House in the Night

Susan Marie Swanson published "The House in the Night" in 2008 and it won the Caldecott Medal the next year. It is a very appropriate bedtime story because it involves nighttime inside a cozy house.

9. Can you name the book in which the characters from one classic children's book leave their own stories and wander around others? A wolf blowing down doors is still involved.

Answer: The Three Pigs

"The Three Pigs" begins with the traditional plot of the story of the three little pigs -- each one building his own house of hay, sticks, or bricks -- but it has a break-out ending where the pigs visit other storybook characters such as the cat and the fiddle. It won the Caldecott Medal in 2002.

10. This lovely girl existed in a fairy tale long before she appeared in a Disney movie. Can you name the beauty who was imprisoned in a high castle and used a creative way to get to freedom?

Answer: Rapunzel

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your fair hair!" is a famous line from her story. After a spiteful witch locked the beautiful Rapunzel in a high towel, a handsome Prince discovered her and asked her to let down her super-long hair so he could climb. The original version of this fairy tale has a rather grim ending, but it was updated in later versions for a happy one in which Rapunzel and the Prince live happily ever after.

The retelling by Paul O. Zelinsky won the Caldecott Medal in 1998.
