hundreds of kids really When my mum gets me a book, I go,

:00:42.:00:44.

"Wow, Mum, thanks a lot!" And I've got, like, maybe 130 books

:00:45.:00:51.

at home on a shelf. Why is World Book Day

:00:52.:00:57.

so important, do you think? Because it celebrates books

:00:58.:01:01.

and I don't think books get Most people go on their

:01:02.:01:03.

phones and things. As Harry Potter ?

:01:04.:01:09.

Yeah. I used to dress up as Hermione

:01:10.:01:12.

from Harry Potter and sometimes Chris Riddell is a writer

:01:13.:01:15.

and illustrator, the current Children's Laureate and promotes

:01:16.:01:26.

reading among kids. For any author or illustrator,

:01:27.:01:31.

there's a very special day and it's today, when you actually walk

:01:32.:01:34.

into a school and look at this great crowd of kids who love books so much

:01:35.:01:37.

that they've dressed And then the best bit,

:01:38.:01:40.

I have lots of friends of mine who do what I do and love this,

:01:41.:01:47.

when you spot one of your own characters in the sea of faces.

:01:48.:01:51.

And that's really special. We'd love to know who YOU'RE

:01:52.:01:58.

dressing up as for World Book Day. Lots of you have

:01:59.:02:05.

already been in touch. Divina in Sheffield is dressing up

:02:13.:02:14.

to say she's already met one author yesterday and she'll be seeing

:02:15.:02:17.

another today. She says she loves the Harry Potter

:02:18.:02:19.

books and that JK Rowling So, we're going book-tastic

:02:20.:02:22.

on Newsround today because aside from it being world book day today

:02:23.:02:30.

we can also reveal the winners After much debate the judges

:02:31.:02:33.

whittled down their favourite children's book reads to six

:02:34.:02:37.

brilliant reads, across two Yes. How difficult was it to whittle

:02:38.:02:55.

it down? It was so tricky. Two categories, best storybook and the

:02:56.:03:00.

best book with facts. There are three judges. We had 20 books in

:03:01.:03:04.

each category, so a lot of books to read. Different themes and stories,

:03:05.:03:12.

so we had to decide the best three in each category. Each one of us has

:03:13.:03:17.

their own dislikes and likes as well. We spent the whole day at

:03:18.:03:21.

Liverpool Central Library and talked it through. We were really happy

:03:22.:03:25.

with the final three in each category. We did the short list.

:03:26.:03:31.

Then those three books went to different schools across the country

:03:32.:03:35.

and it is really the children who decided who has won the Blue Peter

:03:36.:03:40.

Book Awards. They have said this is what we like. This is what we want

:03:41.:03:46.

to win. So, I can't wait any longer. Please reveal the winners! The

:03:47.:03:51.

winners of the Blue Peter Book Awards are, for best storybook, Ross

:03:52.:03:56.

McKenzie with the nowhere in Tory and for best book of facts, the epic

:03:57.:04:08.

book of Epicurus, by AB Adam Frost. This book captured my imagination. I

:04:09.:04:15.

knew straightaway it should be a winner. The characters are strong,

:04:16.:04:20.

the theme is brilliant. I was just transported to a fantastic world.

:04:21.:04:25.

For the best book with facts, it has a fact about everything! When you go

:04:26.:04:29.

to a party or you are with friends, you just want the best fact. You

:04:30.:04:34.

will get it from this book. What does it mean to win this award? For

:04:35.:04:42.

any author, you know, I was a CBBC presenter, and it was a massive deal

:04:43.:04:46.

back then. Peter is a fantastic brand and anyone who wins this knows

:04:47.:04:50.

they have made it. They get a badge as well. Packs for joining us.

:04:51.:04:52.

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
