Waterstone's Children's Book Prize
The Waterstone's Children's Book Prize is a literary prize awarded annually to authors of children's books published in the previous year. Since 2005, the prize has only been awarded to authors who have so far published fewer than three books.
For the first two years the award was still called Ottakar's Children's Book Prize , but when all Ottakar's stores were renamed Waterstone’s , the award changed names.
