Children’s Book Award Blog Tour Round-up

April 15, 2019/0 Comments/by FCBG blog

What a couple of months we have had since we first announced the top ten shortlisted books in this year’s FCBG Children’s Book Award.

An enormous thanks must go to the utterly brilliant bloggers who have pulled out all the stops to make the blog tour such a success.

Also thank you to all the publishers who gave information, pictures and resources to help put the blogs together.  And to the authors and illustrators themselves for sending in quotes and agreeing to Q&A sessions.

If you have been following the tour then I am sure you will agree it has been a real celebration of the books chosen by our voting children.  And if you have missed any of the posts you can catch up by visiting
