Ben Davis with his book ‘What’s That in Dog Years?‘ was revealed as the winner of the Big Book Award 2020 title on 23 April 2020.
This book captured and produced a good deal of emotional feedback from some of the 1400++ pupils from 39 primary schools who took part in the project. Comments flooded into the website, from the readers, such as:
I thought it was a brilliant story of the relationship between boy and dog. I thought the ending chapter made me cry buckets. Hinstock Primary School
Be ready for a real mix of emotions as you make your way through this wonderful story; you will definitely have eyes full of tears by the time you have finished it. A really lovely book that I recommend for all. Longden C/E Primary School
WOW! This book is phenomenal, but at moments very heartbreaking. Coalbrookdale & Ironbridge C/E Primary School
Due to the lockdown imposed, the hugely anticipated awards ceremony at Theatre Severn on 23 April had to be cancelled. But Ben sent us a short film to say thank you for his award:
