That’s right- junior judges around Australia voted The Last Viking for winner of Early Childhood Book of the Year 2012.
The Junior Judges Project is a free online program offered to schools by the Children’s Book Council of Australia. It’s a great way to get your classroom interested in the shortlisted books, so if you’re a teacher, consider it for next year.
