Told in a highly accessible way, with wide reach, it makes even complex ideas easy to understand. A show-stopper of a book which combines illustration, theatricality and information and is far more than the sum of its parts.

Little Sid discovers the unexpected consequences of not covering his nose when sneezing in Simon Philips’s hilarious, riotous romp of a read, with Nathan Reed’s bright, colourful illustrations perfectly showcasing all that explosive energy. My book of the year is definitely Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun by Tọlá Okogwu. It's a fantastic, fast paced, fantasy adventure set in a magic school and tells the tale of the brilliant Onyeka and her wonderful hair. It's a beautiful story that revolves around empowerment and self love. An amazing children's book. You see it, feel it, live it as you read. Lyrical, magical, tender and true, and deeply mysterious. The Horse that Jumped by Thomas DochertyAlthough initial giant robot ‘Battle Bat!’ spectacularly fails, resistance efforts continue, but Monkey is easily distracted and soon moves to make his own empire in ‘Monkeyopia Rises!’ and as Summer begins ‘Divisions!’ proliferate. Before long the war with Bunny flares up again and instantly moves into the province of war crimes as the simian unleashes his flatulence-powered ‘Rofl-Copter!’ What an innovative way to learn all about the key points of development on life on earth - as seen through an imaginative stage show put on by Rod the Roach and his troupe in the shoebox theatre! Beautiful, lyrical writing by Kiran Millwood Hargrave, stunning artwork by Tom de Freston and outstanding book design by Alison Padley. A gorgeous book, wise and full of wonder at the glory of the natural world. I adored Twin Crowns by Katherine Webber and Catherine Doyle. It’s a super fun, enchanting and heartwarming adventure full of nostalgia and joy. The story of of two sisters separated at birth. Two princesses no less, who must find themselves and each other. Highly addictive and gorgeous storytelling. Alcatoe and the Turnip Child by Isaac Lenkiewicz For us it’s got to be ‘Dogs in Disguise’ by Peter Bently and John Bond because it’s so gloriously and joyously silly! Just imagining the thought process that led to this picture book gives us hope for humanity!

Such a tender and touching story, with the most ravishingly beautiful, loving illustrations, capturing all the warmth and light of India, and all the emotions of the story. Utterly stunning. I’m going for graphic novel Alcatoe and the Turnip Child by Isaac Lenkiewicz. I’m super surprised more people don’t know about - I love it. Bunny vs Monkey is the story of a Bunny and his animal friends, who try to defend their woods from Monkey and his invaders. In this book, a new foe enters the conflict. The Maniacal Badger is a scientific genius determined to claim the woods as his own, and now Bunny and Monkey have to team up to defeat him. It’s all very funny, silly, and everything comes to a huge, chaotic—and hopefully surprising—finale! The Bunny vs Monkey series began as a comic strip in The Phoenix. What have you learned about comics from that experience?

A distant relative tries to make one woodland weirdo ‘Pigging Rich!’ with little success, after which a bad tooth and unwise consultation with Skunky results in Monkey taking a big bite out of everything in ‘Chomp!’ Problems are exacerbated by the other unconventional Crinkle creatures, particularly a skunk called Skunky who has a mad scientist’s attitude to life and a propensity to build extremely dangerous robots and super-weapons… A charming book about a runaway mouse who also happens to be a genius chess-player. Heartwarming and fun whilst also raising awareness of serious topics. It's a winner for me.

There is currently no separate category for comics or graphic novels. Bunny Vs Monkey and The Heartstopper Yearbook have placed in the Book of the Year 2023 – Children’s Illustrated category.

The cataclysmic end begins when the Maniacal one pressgangs ‘The Badger Army’ to do his bidding but forgets the species’ tendency to unionise even as Skunky creates a ‘Terraforming Orb!!’ to purpose-build a new world. It’s a shame Monkey dropped it on his own head while it was switched on… When reading this aloud with my daughter, I had to keep stopping, either because I was laughing or crying too much to be able to continue. Frank and his grandpa's adventures are ridiculous, but completely believable because the characters are so relatable and the affection between them is so strong. I loved it. The Elemental Detectives by Patrice Lawrence Yes and no. With comics you’re spelling everything out visually, but writing a novel is a much wider canvas with more space for the reader to interpret what you’re telling them, and it took me a long time to learn how to work with that. With Flember I’ve had the chance to tell a huge, epic fantasy tale. There’s still plenty of toilet humour and characters falling over, but on a much grander stage. The market for illustrated books is growing. Why do you think comics and graphic novels are doing so well as part of this sector? Bunny vs. Monkey has been a staple of comics phenomenon The Phoenix since the very first issue in 2012: recounting a madcap vendetta gripping animal arch-enemies set amidst an idyllic arcadia masquerading as more-or-less mundane but critically endangered English woodlands. Badger’s retaliation is ancient thought monster ‘Ragnaggtrix!’ but there’s an inherent flaw in something dependent on belief that the evil genius didn’t consider. Thankfully, Skunky is preoccupied ‘Distracting the Monkey!’ from cadging more superweapons to misuse…I absolutely loved THE SPELL TAILORS by James Nicol, who has woven another enchanting tale. Ajay and the Mumbai Sun by Varsha Shah The animal anarchy might end for now there’s one more secret to share with detailed instructions on ‘How to Draw Maniacal Badger’so, as well as beguiling your young ‘uns with stories, you can use this book to teach them a trade…

The winners of the British Book Awards 2023 will be declared at a ceremony on May 15 – to be held at Grosvenor House, London, and via livestream.Universal innocents Weenie squirrel and Pig have their own way of de-stressing and not even roving robot drones can upset ‘A Quiet, Uneventful Day’ on the lake. Old animosities are paused and enemies become temporary allies planning to resist through ‘Distraction’ and strategic deployment of brain-battered, bewildered suicide bomber/former stuntman Action Beaver, but when that scheme flops we instead focus on ‘A Sad Skunk’ as the original mad scientist undergoes an existential crisis and needs Bunny to share it with… Wished by Lissa Evans is a modern classic. It combines heart and humour seamlessly, and features the pithiest talking cat I've ever encountered in a book. It's the kind of book that somehow feels fresh and original, whilst also reminding you of all the books that built your childhood. Always, Clementine by Carlie Sorosiak The story actually resumes in Spring and the far future where time-traveller Ai– a superfast Ai-Ai not naturally indigenous to our sylvan glades and endangered shores – learns of a disaster that’s history here but her tomorrow. A good person, she undertakes ‘The Journey Home’ but arrives too late as ‘A Rather Maniacal Badger’ details how the woods have been conquered at last… Terror – The Horror Comic Art of Jayme Cortez (volume 1) & Macabras – The Horror Comic Art of Jayme Cortez (volume 2)
