  The Laughs and Giggles Award goes out to books that can make children laugh. How does the saying go, "laughter is the best medicine"? Children today are forced to grow up way too fast and need some humor in their lives. They need a break where they can just be silly and have a good time. What better way to do it, than through children's literature. On page 276 of Battling Dragons, Violet J. Harris states that "books are powerful". Books have the power to elicit many emotions from readers. Children need to know that it's okay to be happy and laugh in the midst of their stressful lives. This award requires colorful illustrations and most importantly, humor. The books must be realistic fiction or pure fantasy. They must also be suitable for children ages 5-9. If the book can make you laugh, it's bound to make a child do the same. The author who can erupt laughter or even just a smile will receive this award. Nominations are due no later than Tuesday February 19, 2008.
