The Red House Children’s Book Award is the only national UK book award that is voted on entirely by children.  Children’s votes create the shortlist of titles and then select the winner in three categories.  The book with the most total votes also wins the overall award.  Here are this year’s winners:

The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt, illustrated by Oliver Jeffers

 

YOUNGER READERS WINNER
