Parents adore these books because they are beautiful but tough enough to withstand even the most enthusiastic of young readers. And children love them because they are just so much fun. We basked in the glory of our category win while the other category winners were announced – Adrian Edmonson’s Tilly and the Time Machine won the Fiction Award; The Pokemon Encyclopedia won the Licensed Book award; Usborne’s 100 Things to Know About the Human Body won the Learning and Development Award; and Rachel Bright and Jim Field’s The Koala Who Could won the Picture Book Award. These were pretty heavy hitters, so we assembled our good losers’ faces again, as the overall Sainsbury’s Children’s Book of the Year award winner was announced.

Yesterday, Camilla, Frances and I went to the Sainsbury’s Children’s Book Awards, now in their fourth year. (And in another bout of nostalgia I was recalling that, in 2013, when Nosy Crow was smaller, and frankly less well organised than it is now, I cycled up to Sainsbury’s head office in a lather of sweat to drop off our entries and the relevant forms, arriving at the very end of the day, and finding it almost impossible to find anyone to take them from me.) In Where's Mr King?, you're on the look out for Mrs Tube Driver, Mr Beefeater, Mrs Cyclist and Mr King himself! In Where's Mr Lion?, you're on the look out for Mrs Giraffe, Mr Crocodile, Mrs Elephant and Mr Lion himself! Parents adore these books because they are beautiful but tough enough to withstand even the most enthusiastic of young readers. And children love them because they are just so much fun.

In Where's Mrs Cat?, you're on the look out for Mr Goldfish, Mrs Dog, Mr Guinea Pig and Mrs Cat herself!

Other titles in the series include Felt Flaps Where's Mr Lion?, Felt Flaps Where's Mr Unicorn? and Felt Flaps Where's Mrs Ladybird? This year, we were shortlisted in the Baby and Toddler category for Where’s Mr Lion, illustrated by Ingela P Arrhenius, against The Crayons’ Book of Colours by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers (that would be THE Oliver Jeffers), and Bathtime for Little Rabbit by Jörg Mühle – both really strong books. Remembering our past experiences of the award, we had our good losers’ faces on when Jill Coleman, Director of Publisher Relations and Book Purchasing at BookTrust, which was involved with the awards for the first time this year, took to the stage to announce the winner.

In Where's Mr Dog?, you're on the look out for Mrs Cat, Mr Mouse, Mrs Rabbit and Mr Dog himself! Lift the final flap and there's a surprise mirror - always a hit with the little ones. Other titles in the series include, Felt Flaps Where’s Mrs Hen?, Felt Flaps Where’s Mr Unicorn? and Felt Flaps Where’s Mrs Ladybird?This Thursday and last have been tense times in our household: with children born two school years apart, we were waiting for both A Level and GCSE results. Everything turned out fine, thank you for asking, but there’s nothing like these rites of passage to make you feel nostalgic for the babies that you once had, and so the timing of yesterday’s news was particularly poignant for me. In Where’s Mr Lion?, you’re on the look out for Mrs Giraffe, Mr Crocodile, Mrs Elephant and Mr Lion himself!
