Here's some cheery news from our colleagues at Scholastic UK! Starting later this month, they will begin accepting submissions for the first-ever Laugh Out Loud Book Awards, aka 'The Lollies'! Publishers can submit funny children's books in three age brackets:
- Best Laugh Out Loud Picture Book
- Best Laugh Out Loud Book for 6-8s
- Best Laugh Out Loud Book for 9-13s
After submissions have been accepted, teachers in the UK will have the chance to vote with their classrooms on the books that left them in stitches!
We know from both the Kids & Family Reading Report: Fifth Edition and the Kids & Family Reading Report: United Kingdom that the majority of kids in both the U.S. and the UK say that they want books that make them laugh, so we're excited to see which titles come out on top!
