Read it Again! is the name of the Cambridgeshire Libraries children's picture book award.
The 8th "Read it Again!" award was launched on World Book Day, Thursday 7 March 2013.
How it works
- It is a unique award for a first-time picture book where the words and pictures are the work of one individual.
- Thousands of Cambridgeshire children in local schools read, discuss and then vote for their favourite book from a shortlist of eight titles, all by first-time author/illustrators.
- The award encourages children to discuss books with their classmates and think about what makes a good book.
- Library staff visit schools promoting the award to children.
