My mind changes on how to sort out kids books all the time, but this morning I woke up and thought, "I've got to slice and dice this six different ways to make sense" so instead I'm just making a single list.

and now, the books from authors that don't have additional titles higher on the list do to sales at events:
68. The Rhino Who Swallowed a Storm, by Levar Burton/Susan Schaefer Bernardo/Courtney Fletcher

95. Behind You, by Jacqueline Woodson
98. The Very Hungry Caterpillar board book, by Eric Carle
99. Ghosts, by Raina Telgemeier
It just sort of got repetitive, and I thought it was more intersting to see what was selling out of the bookstore, though I did include the top-selling title from school event authors like April Henry and Salina Yoon, who had great school events but didn't make the top 60.
