Voting has now closed in the best Australian picture book poll. Read more about it here
When Guardian Australia asked readers to nominate their favourite Australian children’s picture book late last year, we got more than 3,000 responses.
Many parents passed on their children’s reasons for falling in love with their chosen book – and they are just as sweet, sensible and funny as the books they celebrate.
The reason I’m nominating this book is because I like it. I like looking at the pictures because they’re great. My favourite picture is the last page because they’re all together asleep.
