Looking about the Children’s bookshelves this Australia Day, positions have varied considerably as to who gets to sit, at the top of the list.  The ten selected, are what we are regularly seeing at the top, in popular bookstores, around the country.

We have wimpy kids, treehouses and wayward children scoring the first three places – curtesy of Kinney, Griffiths & Denton and Bound.  These are closely followed by animals, you, strikes, perspectives, pigs and the deep.  Although there are no unique titles in this bunch of books, they’re great page turners for young children,  who eagerly follow these authors.
