(The Nestlé Children’s Book Prize, and Nestlé Smarties Book Prize for a time, was a set of annual awards for British children’s books that ran from 1985 to 2007.

Below is the coverage from Appendix 1 of the National Curriculum 2014. This book is written very dryly and very seriously. I would expect it to upset her - but no, she requested several re-reads. Go figure. Despite having read hundreds of picture books with my (then) small daughter, I was still slightly woolly on picture book conventions such as, length/endpapers/format etc. Because I didn’t know, I didn’t worry about it! I didn’t have time to think up a “story” so I decided to base my book on a list of facts about wolves. It made perfect sense to me that rabbits would be the keenest readers on that subject, so I decided that a rabbit would borrow (burrow) a book from the library and we would read along with him Write an interview with a wolf from a famous story (e.g. Red Riding Hood) to find out what the wolf was thinking.
