Below is a list of the Children Book Awards that have been awarded so far for 2009. All of the information came from the below website. If a book was listed more than once (winner in one category and honorable in another) I only listed it in the winning category: Children's Book Awards
You can also see the winners from 2002-2008 at the above website.
Please use this thread to post any personal reviews on the books!
