Hodder Children's Books

Oliver Who Travelled Far and Wide by Mara Bergman, illustrated by Nick Maland was announced as the WINNER of the pre-school category at the BOOKTRUST EARLY YEARS AWARD ceremony.

The Booktrust Early Years Awards celebrate, publicise and reward the exciting range of books being published today for babies, toddlers and pre-school children.

Wendy Cooling, MBE, Bookstart founder and chair of judges, said: "The winning books have that wonder that is so important for very young children; they will be read over and over again and adult readers will not complain at the `Again please!` There`s originality, imagination and excellent design in all three, always as much to enjoy in the pictures as in the words. These books hold the magic that really will lead children into reading."
