Best-Selling Children’s Books of all Time

We’re living in a golden age of children's literature, when books ostensibly written for teens are equally adored by readers of every generation. In the likes of Harry Potter, they’ve produced characters and conceits that have become the currency of our pop-culture discourse and inspired some of our best writers to contribute to the genre. To honor the best books for children, experts of Insidermonkey compiled this survey and made a list of  the best-selling children’s books of all time. Take a look!

Authors come and go, while others, especially those who scribe for children, withstand the yellowing of the folios. For generations, Dr. Seuss, Beatrix Potter and E.B. White have delighted parents and kids with their timeless tomes. And I must mention the name of J.K. Rowling, who waved a magic wand and changed children's literature forever. Nowadays, no home library would be worth is shelf space without the collection of harry potter, a mischievous cat in a hat, a lovable spider or a furry rabbit whose moniker is Peter.

Honestly, you wouldn't believe how much popular these authors became, or how much money they made just by writing children's books. Some infantile novels gained so much popularity in fact, that their writers fall under the world’s top 10 earning authors.
