Children’s Books Swamp the Amazon Top 100 Bestsellers as Parents Freak Out During Home Stay, Only 10 Are for Adults

Share

The top selling book in the US this morning?

“My First Learn to Write Workbook,” by Crystal Radle. No, I am not kidding. Forty four of the top 100 Amazon best selling books are for children. Parents are freaking out during the home stay. They have swamped the bestsellers.

There are only ten of the top 100 for adults. They include “Little Fires Everywhere” by Celeste Ng, the basis for the new Reese Witherspoon-Kerry Washington TV series. Also, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” by Harper Lee.

Number 59 is “The Great Influenza,” by John M. Barry, about the pandemic of 1918.

If you’ve got a grade school kid under 6, read them Dr. Seuss’s “The Sneetches.” Over 6, read them “Harry Potter.” Works like a charm!
