Product Information

This is the inaugural British Book Award for Edinburgh University Press, the academic stalwart which has been trading for over seven decades. This adventurous book begins with the reader meeting Nibbles the Book Monster. He loves to nibble everything but his favorite thing to nibble is BOOKS! Most of the time, Nibbles is contained in his cell being good. But whenever he escapes, panic and mayhem always ensue. This time, Nibbles has escaped and is nibbling through different folktales and fairy-tales which leaves their stories a mess! See the crazy mess that Nibbles leaves in his path. Everyone wants Nibbles to be caught. The genre for this book starts out as fiction, but then switches to Folktale and Fairy-tales. The author creates a twist with the stories by throwing Nibbles into the stories and his tendencies to destroy and nibble things. The author and illustrator have created books within books that has the reader wanting to catch Nibbles and to see what shenanigans he gets into next. The different stories are unique to their book within The Book Monster. The grade levels that would enjoy this would be Kindergarten through 2nd Grade. I read the story aloud to my 1st Graders, who LOVED the main story of Nibbles, but also were excited to see which folklore or fairy-tale story would come next. They would always make predictions of which story would come next.

The ending is open ended, so I have hopes that we will have another Nibbles book! With new adventures! New books! I can't wait. :D Its first trophy came in 2016, the year it won the second of two consecutive Booker Prizes. That kind of recognition can unbalance a small publisher, but after several years of consolidation Oneworld moved up a gear in 2022, with zeitgeist-capturing literary publishing and best-ever sales and profits. The eight campaigns on this shortlist were all winners at the Publishers’ Publicity Circle’s annual awards. Alongside the title of Marketing Strategy of the Year, the award for Publicity Campaign of the Year completes a remarkable double for the most visible début of 2022, Bonnie Garmus’ Lessons in Chemistry. The final judging panel crowned the Non-Fiction Lifestyle & Illustrated Book of the Year winner, Menopausing, as The British Book Awards’ Overall Book of the Year. They thought the “impressive” book captured Davina McCall’s voice and passion. After Gollancz’s triumph in 2021, HarperVoyager’s success is a second Imprint of the Year Award in three years for a science fiction and fantasy list. It is deserved reward for the work of this year’s Editor of the Year Natasha Bardon and publishing director Jane Johnson, who has been championing these genres for nearly 40 years.I've read this book roughly 82 million times because it is a favorite in my house. We've actually had it for almost two years and despite having books overflowing our shelves and access to the entire county library full of books, this is one that keeps making it's way onto the "PLEASE READ THIS ONE MOMMY" list. Waterstones, a winner for the first time since 2019, is recognised for the rejuvenation of its children’s bookselling. It took a good share of the year’s biggest children’s books and has jumped on the TikTok phenomenon, including through a BookTokFest. But it was work with new voices that most caught the eye, which was boosted by its Children’s Laureate, Book Prize and Book of the Month and Year initiatives.

After a stellar 2022, even by the high standards of the flourishing books market, Simon & Schuster wins this award for the second year a row.Export, rights and co-edition sales were all at best-ever levels. There was more double-digit growth across picture books and Young Adult, and it had the Waterstones Children’s Book of the Year in A F Steadman’s Skandar and the Unicorn Thief—all of which earns Simon & Schuster the title of Children’s Publisher of the Year, too. The Trade Awards celebrate everyone from independent bookshops, and regional small presses, to the industry’s largest players, from agents championing debut authors to marketers and publicists finding the most creative routes to readers. The book industry is an intricate and deeply collaborative ecosystem, and we are here to shine a light on every bit of it. The book is riddled with holes here and there, holes through which Nibbles ate himself a way out. I loved that they were added it made the book so much more fun. The business opened three new standalone bookshops in 2022, at Luton and Manchester airports and Edinburgh Waverley station, plus new concept stores with bright book departments. It meanwhile relocated and revamped its concessions within Harrods and Selfridges in London—special shopping environments that provide more proof that the W H S Travel team can do far more than pile-‘em-high bookselling. It is also a second British Book Award in six years for Transworld’s Alison Barrow, following success for her work on The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. There were hallmarks of that publicity strategy in her campaign for Lessons in Chemistry, which began at the point of acquisition and has not abated since. It was clearly a passion project with endless creativity and innovation, first building a word-of-mouth buzz and an army of advocates, then achieving an exceptional level of media interest. There were acres of magazine, review and supplement coverage and successful pitches to key TV/radio slots, including “Between the Covers”, “Open Book”, “Woman’s Hour” and several book clubs.

Carolynn Bain’s remarkable work serves as a reminder of how bookselling is not just a commercial enterprise but a powerful force for social justice and good. E little creature who likes to bite and chew anything, but has his heart on chomping books. And there he goes, eating his way through some classic fables from our childhood.

This book is adorable. It is interactive and stars a wee monster that you gotta love even though he is naughty. He, like Houdini, is an escape artist, and when gets out of his cage he heads straight for his first love.... his love of eating books! Yep, Nibbles is a book monster! The illustrations in the book are beautiful and will delight both kids and adults. The age recommended in the version was 3 to 5 years, but kids from all ages will enjoy not only be told the story, but going through the way (holes) the character did in the books. Have fun. I did! 😉 A citation by the author Monica Ali read: “It takes courage to create art. It takes courage to speak truth to power. Art may, in the end, be stronger than censorship, but the artist remains vulnerable. Nobody has been more courageous, more steadfast, more brilliant in the pursuit of truth and artistic freedom than tonight’s recipient.” The novel’s influence at this year’s Nibbies is pronounced, with nods for the Fiction: Début award and in the Marketing, Publicity, Imprint (Doubleday) and Agent (Felicity Blunt) categories. I also have to give extra credit to the book cover. Normally books are paper and feel cold/hard on the touch, but not this one. It has texture, but also seems to not been made from paper but from fabric. I love it when publisher/authors do something special to their books.
