Children's Literature Association of Utah
announces the winners of the 2007 Beehive Book Awards!

Informational: Life-Size Dinosaurs by David Bergen

Poetry: Hotel Deep: Light verse from Dark Water by Kurt Cyrus

This award is different from other, more famous, children's literature awards due to the fact that the winner is chosen by children who read the nominees and vote for their favorite. The Brigham City library displayed the nominees from January to April. Children from Brigham City were able to cast their ballots right here at our library. To learn more about the Children's Literature Assocation of Utah visit their website, www.clau.org you can see the nominees for 2008 and a list of winners from other years.
