The Guardian Review published an article by Michael Rosen today in which he talks about coming up with the idea of a prize for the funniest children’s book. “It’s mostly my fault that we’ve arrived at a point where a group of adults could sit around a table in a Soho restaurant, battling over who has written the best humorous narrative for children.” Andy Stanton‘s Mr Gum and the Dancing Bear won this prize on November 13th.
