Maybe this didn’t rank a preshow on E! And Joan Rivers won’t (we hope) be commenting on anyone’s outfits, but the Children’s Book Council has bestowed the Children’s Choice Book Awards.

More than 1 million children cast their votes and the presentation, in New York City yesterday, launched Children’s Book Week.

Jeff Kinney, with “Diary of a Wimpy Kid 7: The Third Wheel” was named author of the year.

Additional winners are:

Barbara DaCosta, writer, and Ed Young, illustrator for “Nighttime Ninja” in the kindergarten to second grade category.

Nick Bruel’s “Bad Kitty for President” for third and fourth grade.

Rachel Renee Russell’s “Dork Diaries 4: Tales from a Not-So-Graceful Ice Princess” for fifth and sixth graders.

John Green’s “The Fault in Our Stars” for teens.

When you consider some of the awards shows that garner attention, would it really be such a terrible idea if there were televised awards for children’s books? Don’t you think the acceptance speeches would be an awful lot of fun?
