Link Du Jour: Bestselling Children’s Books of 2009

Attention folks interested in 2009 children’s book sales figures: they’re out.

Publishers Weekly has broken down which titles moved the most units in aught nine. My notes are as follows:

• Dang, Golden Books are still sellin’ by the truckload.
• Wimpy Kid took #1 and #2 in the hardcover frontlist category?
• If you slap Twilight on anything rectangular it will sell.
• The same goes for Fancy Nancy.
• Series books are where it’s at. Barely a stand-alone to be found at the top of the lists.
