The title makes it sound like it was in general but it's only in children's books. That's not exactly that surprising ;).

Still no numbers though, I want to know the number of copies that have been sold already.

I've spent some time browsing to find that out. The only thing I have learned is that the publishers are reluctant to disclose that information.

I posted this list in another thread. It seems to give an overall view by just listing it as a non-fiction book.

i dont get why some are upset by the childrens chart. read the last part, over 100 million readers a month.

that is an astounding amount for CHILDREN.

Disney maybe primarily for kids, but they are also a family company, and that means a lot. Dont underestimate the power of kids, teens and families after all theres more of them now than ever.

Now i know why the uk ones are printed in Italy.

WOW #1 is awesome news! :D thank you for posting it.:) congratulations Miley! You are so awesome.:)
