There is very strict set of criteria. All of the books that meet that criteria are eligible for consideration. A committee of librarians spends the year reviewing all the books and then voting on them. They can also award Honor Books for those that they feel are distinguished.

Pioneer Girl was written by Laura in 1930. It was never published, but material from Pioneer Girl turns up in the eight books she did publish, beginning with Little House in the Big Woods in 1932.
... Oh Hi There. Oh yes... its a realistic fictional book. That's because a boy, real thing, it is a human and humans are real. Kind of fictional because its not a real life about anyone or anything. No one ever seen the Eater Of Mens.

Born in 1713, John Newbery was an English publisher and bookseller who established juvenile literature as an important branch of the publishing business. Included among his publications is "Little Goody Two Shoes" (1766). Although he published his books anonymously, it is assumed that he likely wrote a number of them himself. In 1921, the Newbery Medal was established by Frederic Melcher to be awarded by the American Library Association to the most distinguished children's book of the year written by an American.
