Last year was a strong one for children's books: in hardcover, 238 titles sold more than 75,000 copies; in paperback, 310 books sold in excess of 100,000 copies. Numbers-wise, however, the year belonged to Lemony Snicket.

The Series of Unfortunate Events began in 1999, with a 20,000-copy first printing for the first volume, The Bad Beginning. By the end of 2003, the series had already sold 13 million copies worldwide. But with last November's release of the Paramount film, sales catapulted into the stratosphere. The 11 titles in the series, plus six movie tie-in editions, sold 8.1 million copies in total (3 million frontlist and 5.1 million backlist) in 2004.

There were only nine picture books in the top 25 slots for hardcover frontlist last year, further proof of the predominance of fiction these days. Several picture books by longtime favorites could be found near the top of the charts: Eric Carle, Jan Brett, Robert Sabuda, and the team of Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell. And a handful of celebrities made their marks on the list as well, including Billy Crystal, Katie Couric, Maria Shriver and Madonna.

Fiction series in particular were big: Lemony Snicket of course, but also Magic Tree House, Junie B. Jones, the Spiderwick Chronicles, the Princess Diaries. One-off hits, almost exclusively in the fantasy genre, included Dragon Rider, Peter and the Starcatchers, Shadowmancer, The Supernaturalist, The Golem's Eye and Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy.

In hardcover backlist, 10 of the top 12 titles were Lemony Snicket books. But at the top of the list was another movie tie-in, The Polar Express. Chris Van Allsburg's 1985 picture book is a reliable bestseller each Christmas season (202,000 sold in 2002; 235,000 in 2003), but the holiday movie, which had a domestic gross of $162.7 million, helped the original hardcover sell 1.3 million copies last year (plus another million copies of four movie tie-ins). In other highlights, a 2003 fantasy hit was still going strong a year later: Eragon by Christopher Paolini sold three-quarters of a million copies. Kate DiCamillo's The Tale of Despereaux saw sales of nearly 300,000 in the year it won the Newbery Medal. Jamie Lee Curtis's four backlist picture books sold just under one million copies combined. And two novelties, My Granny's Purse and Tails, proved backlist stalwarts, each selling more than 300,000 copies.

The biggest news in paperback frontlist was the release of a Harry Potter reprint: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, with almost 1.5 million copies sold, nearly double that of the next contender on the list. Paperback movie tie-ins abounded for a raft of kids' films, including The Incredibles, Spider-Man 2, The Polar Express, Shark Tale and Shrek 2. Big standalone fiction reprints were Hoot, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and the student edition of Life of Pi. And in series, those aimed at preteen girls ruled the roost: The New Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley, W.I.T.C.H. and Lizzie McGuire.

Louis Sachar's Holes, which garnered widespread critical and commercial success (and was the basis for a hit movie), commanded the top spot in our paperback backlist list, selling just under 500,000 copies in multiple editions. The next two slots went to classics The Giver and The Outsiders, each selling in excess of 400,000 copies. The Magic Tree House series sold more than five million copies in backlist (and an additional 643,000 copies in frontlist). And Junie B. Jones sold nearly 3.4 million copies (plus another 465,000 in frontlist). Clearly, those two series have evergreen appeal for each new crop of emerging readers. Sales for the Harry Potter backlist, however, have dropped off: 900,000 copies of the first four Harry Potter titles sold last year, compared to almost 1.9 million copies in 2003.
