Roald Dahl Funny Prize :)

I think I may have to try to get to a Librarian conference in the UK this summer if there is one. Or at least go to the Book expo.

It's the creation of the Children's Laureate, Michael Rosen, who had a giggly time choosing books with the other judges: Roald's granddaughter Sophie Dahl, the children's author Kaye Umansky, the children's illustrator Chris Riddell and the comedian Dara O'Briain. The Roald Dahl Funny Prize is organised by Booktrust. See www.roalddahlprize.org.
