The Federation of Children's Book Groups Children's Book Award

The Federation of Children's Book Groups Children's Book Award is a set of annual literary prizes for children's books published in the U.K. during the preceding calendar year. It recognises one "Overall" winner and one book in each of three categories: Books for Younger Children, Books for Younger Readers, and Books for Older Readers.[a] The selections are made entirely by children, which is unique among British literary awards.[1] It was previously known as the Red House Children's Book Award.

The Federation of Children's Book Groups owns and coordinates the Award, which it inaugurated in 1981 as the Children's Book Award. Its purpose has been "to celebrate the books that children themselves love reading."[1] From 2001 to 2015 it was sponsored by the mail order bookshop Red House[1] —a brand owned by bookselling company The Book People. It was awarded from 1981-2017
