Winners - Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2010.

Overnight in London Booktrust announced the winners of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2010. The Prize, which is in its third year, celebrates the funniest books for children aged 0-6 and for children aged 7-14.

The Prize was founded by Michael Rosen when he was Children’s Laureate in 2008. It is the first of its kind; founded to honour those books that simply make children laugh.

The winners of this year’s Prize are:

Dog Loves Books by Louise Yates (Jonathan Cape) in the funniest book for children aged 0-6 category.

Withering Tights by Louise Rennison (Harper Collins)  in the funniest book for children aged 7-14 category.

Both authors were presented with their awards and a cheque each for £2,500 at an awards ceremony at the Unicorn Theatre in London.
