The Alliance of Radical Booksellers has announced the four books shortlisted for the first annual Little Rebels Children’s Book Award.  The winner will be announced on May 11th, 2013.  I must say that I love a bit of radical children’s list and I haven’t read a single one on the list!

Here is the shortlist:

Hans and Matilda by Yokococo

 

The Terrible Thing That Happened to Barnaby Brocket by John Boyne, illustrated by Oliver Jeffers
