The Laugh Out Loud Book Awards 2016
The winners of the 2016 Laugh Out Loud awards have been announced!
Scholastic had a fantastic ceremony at London’s Lyric Theatre on Tuesday, with CBBC presenters Sam and Mark, former Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen and Horrible Histories on stage. We also invited children from the schools that had voted for their favourite funny books to enjoy the show!
Thank you to everyone who voted and helped us spread the joy of funny books, and all the shortlisted authors and illustrators for being so much fun! We’ve had such a wonderful time reading your hilarious books.
The winners were:
 Picture Books: I Need a Wee by Sue Hendra (Author), Paul Linnet (Illustrator)About the book: When you’re a little bear, there are so many fun things you can do. You can build a sandcastle.
