Thank you to Jackie Hawke for CBCA for providing the following information:

Listing with the covers are included http://cbca.org.au/notables-2016
The Notables are the first phase of recognising great new Australian books for kids. These titles are too good to miss.
Books and Publishing posted a no frills listing that may be useful.
Reviews of many of these will be included in Reading Time http://readingtime.com.au/

These will narrow down to the Short list (which many use as the focus for further lead up to Book Week) to be announced on May 19 at the
National CBCA conference in Sydney
The categories for Early Childhood; Picture Book; Younger Readers; Older Readers; Eve Pownall Information Book; and the Crichton Award for New Illustrators.
If you are in primary or lower secondary, CBCA NSW is hosting an open video conference discussion about the short list for younger readers on August 11 thru DART. Oliver Phommavahn will be our guest author sharing the discussion chair with me. This is always an interesting bit of insight into how kids feel about the list and is open to all schools for viewing. More details will be available very soon.
The Winners for each category are announced on August 19 to lead into Book Week 2016 (Saturday 20 August - Friday 26 August 2016) with the theme of Australia: Story Country.
To top it all off the Book Week posters and promotional materials are designed by Shaun Tan. Details soon.
