Evergreen children's books



The Bookseller has just published a list of the top selling children's books.  The list looks at titles which have never fallen out of the top 5,000 selling books (by ISBN) from 1995-2005.  The Nielson BookScan (from which the data has been collated) is the book world's equivalent of the Billboard chart for music.  

Amazingly, Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone still sells 650 copies per week, 13 years after it was originally published.  

The Teaching Practice collection has all but 4 of the books listed.  And we will buy the missing titles in August.  We also have the DVD and story sacks for The Gruffalo (shown below).
