It’s time to get voting again for your favourite Australian children’s book. Competition host, Better Reading is offering a prize which includes all 50 of the books which are voted as Australia’s Favourite Kids’ Books. The website has lots of fantastic recommendations, interviews and other information about books. It might be one that your parents are interested in too and they run a terrific online book club.
My favourite book when I was a girl was Heidi by Johanna Spyri but if I was a child today I think it might be Alice-Miranda or Clementine Rose! If you’d like to vote for your favourite children’s book, please click on the link here. Don’t delay as the voting closes on 19 May.
my favourite book is Alice Miranda at school. it always makes me smile. Alice Miranda is such a strong character. she is determined but kind and sweet. I love reading about her in this incredible book .

I don’t know what to vote on because all the Alice-Miranda books are so good! I’ve read them all three times and it will be very hard to pick a favourite. Can enter more than one book?
I think you can only vote for one book John, but you have to do it soon as the competition closes on Friday (tomorrow). Make sure you click the link to take you to the official competition entry – just putting it on here doesn’t work. Good luck!
