They were inaugurated in 2000 for books published in 1999 and 2000. The awards were managed by reading charity, [[BookTrust]], from 2006 until the final award in 2022. From 2013 until the final award, there were two award categories: Best Story and Best Book with Facts.
The awards were discontinued in 2022, one month after the end of the [[Costa Book Awards]], which included a category for [[Costa Book Award for Children's Book|children's book]], leaving only three widely recognized awards for children's literature (the [[Kate Greenaway Medal]], the [[Carnegie Medal (literary award)|Carnegie Medal]], and the [[Waterstones Children's Book Prize]]).<ref>{{cite news |title=Children's books world reacts to 'horrible loss' of Blue Peter book awards |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/jul/06/childrens-books-world-reacts-to-horrible-loss-of-blue-peter-book-awards |access-date=July 7, 2022 |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=July 6, 2022 |language=en}}</ref>
