It's starting to get very busy in the shops now, with sales of children's books up overall as we approach Christmas.

Our Readings Children's Prize winner for this year is once again our top-selling title. This delightful adventure story is going to be under lots of Christmas trees this year! The new Scott Pape focusing on financial literacy for kids is in second place, and in third place is the beautiful book on First Nations knowledge by author and musician, Isaiah Firebrace and illustrated by Jaelyn Biumaiwai.

First time in the list is the latest title in the 'Welcome to Our Country' series, by Adam Goodes, Ellie Laing and David Hardy. This title features a young family going back to their ancestral Country, meeting Elders and enjoying a campfire. It's a delightful story for ages 2 and up.
