This annotated list of 87 titles is drawn from books published in the year 2005 and submitted by publishers for the 2006 Children's Book of the Year Awards.
Five titles from the Younger Reader category were selected this year to be included in the 2006 Book Week publication to cater for middle primary level readers, as the shortlist did not seem to have books covering this age range: http://cbca.org.au/Natnotables06.htm
As we had too much material submitted for our book, we have placed some of the spare pages on this site. Other notable titles in the book are Spaceman Bill - Victor Kelleher and 68 Teeth by James Moloney.
