The ten books below are the kids books with the highest number of check-outs from May 25- August 1. The titles on this list might surprise you!
1o. Two-way tie: Thomas & Friends: The Adventure Begins and Disney Planes
Media tie-ins motivate kids to read. Everyone wins.
8. Two-way tie: Where's Waldo? The Wonder Book and Where's Waldo?
Originally published in 1987, Where's Waldo? has the honor of being the oldest book on the list.
7. Big Nate Lives it Up
The seventh book in the Big Nate series, kids love him because he's funny!
6. Disney Frozen
Will Frozen fever ever end? No, apparently it will not. But if it's getting kids reading, we're in favor!
5. Where's Waldo: The Fantastic Journey
I can hear some of you lamenting that kids aren't reading "real" books. But you should know that search-and-find books like this one help kids develop serious academic skills like attention to detail, learning to skim and scan, and being persistent when faced with a challenge.
4. Where's Waldo? In Hollywood
In case you lost count, that makes four Where's Waldo? books on the top ten list.
3. Doc McStuffins: Doc is the Best Medicine!
She fixes things. She helps toys feel better. She always saves the day. Doc McStuffins is super!
2. Inside Out
The DVD release date isn't until November 3, but maybe you can tide your kids over by reading the book a few times between now and then.
1. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul
Eleven years after a Web comic made Greg Heffley famous, readers still can't get enough.
