History
'Many great books are nominated [for a YABBA Award] each each, but only one can actually be the winner. Some books are nominated year in year out, but never actually get to win a YABBA Award.
'Once a book has been nominated five times, but has yet to win a YABBA. we feel it deserves recognition for the special place it occupies in the hearts and minds of Victorian children. That’s why we have the Hall of Fame.'
