The Bestselling Children’s Books of the Week

Way back in the blog history, I did a regular check-in on the New York Times bestsellers of the week. For some reason, the mood struck me to take a peek at the books that are topping the list right now.

So here we go . . .

First up, picture books:

We’ve got a variety of titles here: we have a celeb book that tops the list, a couple hints that folks are getting ready for Halloween (Grumpy Monkey Don’t Be Scared and The Bad Seed), and a character that lives on the bestseller list, back with a winter/Christmas tale (Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Sleigh).

Now, to the middle grade:

Wonder, Wonder, Wonder – it’s the book that won’t stop selling. Incredible run for Wonder. Alan Gratz is also in the top five – a familiar place for him these days. I love seeing A Horse Named Sky in there – a lesser known book from a great imprint (Greenwillow). And what modern list of bestsellers would be complete without Rick Riordan and Harry Potter?
