About the 2010 Cybils widget

Now in their fifth year, the Cybils are the Internet's first literary awards. The public nominates their favorite children's books. Then groups of bloggers get to work. First, a nominating committee reads ALL the titles in a given category. After nearly two arduous months, this committee winnows the nominees to five finalists. A second committee of bloggers considers the shortlist and, after much debate, chooses the best of the best for 2010.

Get and Customize the 2010 Cybils Widget for your Blog or Website

The 2010 Cybils Widget displays a different book every time it loads on your website. There are links where your site visitors can visit the 2010 Cybils website as well as to buy the book on Amazon or their local bookstore (via IndieBound). You can also earn a commission on any book sales by entering your Amazon Associates ID or your IndieBound Affiliate ID where indicated. It's a nice way to make some extra money while spreading the word about great children's books! Follow the instructions below to customize and add the 2010 Cybils widget to your blog or website now.
