Waterstones Children's Book Prize Winner

We couldn't not buy the winner of this year's Waterstones Children's Book Prize - so on our last trip to the bookshop, we picked up The Cafe at the Edge of the Woods by Mikey Please which was the winner of the picture book catagory and Overall Winner!



Rene's dreams have finally come true! She's opened a café beside an enchanted wood, and with the help of a newfound waiter, Glumfoot, she is ready to serve the finest cuisine! But the locals seem to favour a most peculiar palette, requesting all sorts of disgusting things.

Can Glumfoot's quick-thinking save the day?

Join Rene and Glumfoot in this incredible other-worldly story full of magical humour, mythical creatures and culinary curiosities.

It was our bedtime story that night and Bear loved it! He liked Glumfoot the best, and since then he has asked for it reading several times.

The other category winners were Rune, A Tale of a Thousand Faces by Carlos Sanchez for younger readers and King of Nothing by Nathanael Lessore for older readers.

Have you picked any of these up?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
