Nestle Children's Book Prize Winners Announced

The winners of the 2007 Nestle Children's Book Prize were recently announced and I'm happy to say that three of my favourite books from this year were on the list of winners!

When A Monster is Born by Sean Taylor and Nick Sharratt (published by Roaring Brook in North America) won the Gold Medal in the 'Age 5 and Below' category.
Ottoline and the Yellow Cat by Chris Riddell (Macmillan Children’s Books) won the Gold Medal in the 'Books for 6 to 8 year olds' category. Ottoline fans will be very happy to hear that the much anticipated second book in the series 'Ottoline Goes to School' is coming out March 2008.

Little Mouse’s Big Book of Fears by Emily Gravett (Macmillan Children’s Books) was awarded the Bronze Medal in the 'Books for 6 to 8 Year Olds' category.
