If the turn outs in the stories weren’t enough to make you laugh, the version I had had real holes in my ages showing how He makes his way through the books, and that alone is worthy many smiles.

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.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. 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. S&S’ children’s division had a best-ever year of sales and profits, increasing its TCM turnover by a fifth—and by more than half since 2019. Picture books, fiction and audio were all in substantial double-digit growth, and international exports, rights and co-editions hit record highs. While brands like Supertato and Ben Miller were strong, the undoubted highlight was A F Steadman’s Skandar and the Unicorn Thief, the Waterstones Children’s Book of the Year and the top children’s début fiction title.

READ ALOUD | Nibbles: The Book Monster by Emma Yarlett

Our judges praised Menopausing as a “taboo-busting” book, which effectively wove McCall’s warmth with Dr Naomi Potter’s expertise, helping to normalise menopause as a topic of discussion. HQ’s “exhaustive”, “agile” marketing campaign, combined with high-profile interview slots, brought menopause into the mainstream last year. 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. This is the inaugural British Book Award for Edinburgh University Press, the academic stalwart which has been trading for over seven decades.

They all make an enormous difference, not just to children and Waterstones’ own performance but to authors and publishers. “If anyone doubted the importance of Waterstones to the children’s book market, the reopening of the high street in 2022 proved them wrong,” said one publishing 29 sales director. “Their all-round performance was fantastic,” agreed the judges. “They break books in a way no one else does.” 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! 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.” 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. From an exceptionally strong shortlist, Oneworld wins the title of Independent Publisher of the Year for a second time.

The year also saw S&S look outside its own business for ways to diversify its output and staffing, including via the Pathways Into Children’s Publishing programme. More than a quarter of its books—and a third of new acquisitions—came from underrepresented authors and illustrators. There was some excellent outreach and charitable work too, with BookTrust, libraries and Save the Children, among others, plus progress on sustainability initiatives. Round Table Books, the Brixton-based community interest company founded by children’s publisher Knights Of, is only four years old but has already done a huge amount to diversify children’s books by race, sex, disability and more. It took the bold decision to move location in 2022 to be closer to its community and was rewarded by a substantial increase in sales—though the shop has always been about much more than commercial results. Outreach included school events, a festival with Spread the Word and a pay-it-forward bookshelf to gift books to under- privileged children. 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 I still couldn't hate the little fellow, instead I just laughed at his cuteness and his total obliviousness to all that happened around him. Though at times you could see he knew what he was doing. 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.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. Rushdie has continued to advocate for others’ rights to freedom of expression. His most recent book Victory City was published by Vintage in February. None of this is done without risk. On 12th August 2022, a man stabbed Rushdie after rushing onto the stage where the novelist was scheduled to deliver a lecture at an event in New York. He survived, but has lost sight in one eye. The British Book Awards judges liked EUP’s strong collaboration with publishing partners and institutions, its smart long-term investment in business systems and analytics, and the way it responded nimbly to fill gaps in its academic fields. “They consistently make sensible invest- ment and publishing decisions.” Its sales through the TCM leapt by 21% in comparable terms to hit a record high. Much of the growth was generated by Colleen Hoover, who had the year’s biggest-selling title, It Ends With Us, and two more books in the top 15. Taylor Jenkins Reid’s The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo added another top-15 hit to S&S’ ranks.

Nibbles: The Book Monster | BookTrust

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! 😉 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. I am a book monster myself, though I don't really eat books, at least not in the way Nibbles does. I devour books by reading them. :D 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 Awards is a snapshot of the industry’s achievements and output, and reflects a business that is at the centre of many different conversations. It is committed to amplifying publishing talent from traditionally underrepresented communities, and ensures that this is upheld throughout the event and beyond. Publishers make books for everyone, and the awards echo their commitment to freedom of expression with texts that can challenge and inform, as well as entertain. Vintage’s creative director Suzanne Dean has been behind some of the most iconic covers in publishing over more than two decades at Penguin Random House, and 2022 saw her at the very top of her game. 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.
