| Subject: OZschwitz statists grooming the kiddies: War and other realities dominate Children's Book Council awards shortlists Wed Apr 15, 2015 1:02 am | |
| The continuing rise in the quality and sales of children's books should quell fears about the future of the book, according to the judges of Book of the Year Awards for the Children's Book Council of Australia.
More than 400 books were entered for six awards.
Information books in particular were very strong this year, said Angela Briant, the chairwoman of the national council (but not one of the eight judges), in announcing the shortlists for the 2015 awards on Tuesday.
She noted the rising number of entries and range of shortlisted books in that category, including the large-format, handsomely illustrated A-Z of Convicts in Van Diemen's Land by Simon Barnard.
