This interactive PowerPoint quiz is perfect for you to use in the 2025 Australian CBCA Book Week. It contains 65 questions. The first 59 questions cover famous books from Australia and around the world. These are followed by one question on each of the books in the CBCA 2025 short list for ages 7-12.

You can use this as a starter, an assembly, a filler or a main activity. All questions are multiple choice and focus on popular modern books as well as classics. After you have chosen an answer for each question, click again and the correct answer changes colour. The PowerPoint is not editable. Please click ‘read only’ to open. Some of the images are only revealed when the PowerPoint is played as a slideshow with the animations.
