The Blue Peter Book Awards were a set of literary awards for children's books conferred by the BBC television programme Blue Peter. They were inaugurated in 2000 for books published in 1999 and 2000. The awards were managed by reading charity, BookTrust, from 2006 until the final award in 2022. From 2013 until the final award, there were two award categories: Best Story and Best Book with Facts.

The awards were discontinued in 2022, one month after the end of the Costa Book Awards, which included a category for children's book, leaving only three widely recognized awards for children's literature (the Kate Greenaway Medal, the Carnegie Medal, and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize).[1]

Categories

The Book of the Year dated from 2000 when there were also some "Voters' Awards" (2000 to 2002). Previously there were award categories for:

  • Most Fun Story with Pictures, from 2007
  • Best Illustrated Book to Read Aloud, 2004 to 2006
  • Best Book with Facts, from 2003
  • Best New Information Book, 2002
  • Favourite Story, 2011
  • Book I Couldn't Put Down, 2000 to 2010

Three books in each category were announced 4 December 2014 and considered by the panel of 200 children from 10 schools. The two winners for the 2015 awards were announced on 5 March 2015, or World Book Day (UK and Ireland).[2]
