AbstractHistoryArchive Description

In 2003 and 2005 Penguin published Kid's Night In and Kid's Night In 2, raising nearly a million dollars in Australia alone and nearly $3 million worldwide for War Child. The first anthology was a children's bestseller, making it into the Nielsen Bookscan Top 10 in 2003, and was named a Children's Book Council of Australia Notable Book in 2004. Kid's Night In also triggered a War Child Australia field project, supplying more than 5000 new books donated by Australian Children's Publishers to school libraries in the Soloman Islands. A third edition in the series was published in 2009.

Notes

  • Proceeds from sales contributed to the aid agency War Child.
  • Additional Penguin publications in support the War Child effort are the collection of Girl's Night In books – Girls' Night In, Girls' Night In – Gentlemen By Invitation, Girls Night In 3, and Girls' Night In 4.
