BBC Children's Books is an imprint of the Penguin Group, launched in 2004,[1][2][3] which publishes licensed books featuring BBC properties targeted at the children's market. They also publish branded colouring books, quiz books and activity books, and all issues of the Doctor Who Annual since the 2007 issue.

The imprint published a 14-volume series of hardcovers entitled the Doctor Who Files, which featured original short stories. These stories were later compiled into another BBC Children's Books release, The Doctor Who Stories, in late 2009.

Also in 2009, the BBC Children's Books imprint published the 10-volume Doctor Who series The Darksmith Legacy.

In 2016, they published the Choose the Future series of books, including Night of the Kraken and Terror Moon.

They published guidebooks, like A History of Humankind in 2016, and The Companion's Companion in 2017.

In 2018, BBC Children's Books published The Secret in Vault 13, a children's novel featuring the Thirteenth Doctor.
