The Rat by Elise Gravel was selected for the Prix des Premières Lectures Coup de pouce Clé, in France, and The Fly was selected for the Science in Society Children’s Book Award. The two books are part of Gravel’s Disgusting Critters series.
The Prix des Premières Lectures Coup de pouce Clé is chosen by over 10,000 children every year, and the aim of the award is to promote the love of books to children in a fun and educational way.
The Science in Society Children’s Book Award is presented annually from the Canadian Science Writers’ Association, and The Fly was selected based on its “initiative, originality, scientific accuracy, clarity of interpretation and value in promoting a better understanding of science by the public.”
