This has been a year filled with amazing new books and we mostly cover books aimed towards young adults and adults. Children’s books don’t get the attention they deserve and that’s because we rarely read them anymore. But they are still important and that is why we will be looking at the best selling children’s books of 2024!
Many of us grew up reading children’s books and we all have a couple that we hold dear to our heart. And for many children reading books now, these are the books that they will end up reading on top of the classics. We looked at the New York Time’s best selling list to see which books are popular with parents and children. You can see the full list below
Best Selling Children’s Books of 2024
- A Strange Thing Happened in Cherry Hall by Jasmine Warga
- Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell
- The Sherlock Society by James Ponti
- The Swifts by Beth Lincoln
- Faker by Gordon Korman
- They Call Me No Sam! by Drew Daywalt and Mike Lowery
- Roswell Johnson Saves the World! by Chris Colfer
- Tree. Table. Book. by Lois Lowry
- Magnolia Wu Unfolds It All by Chanel Miller
- The Mystery of Locked Rooms by Lindsay Currie
The best selling children’s book of 2024 so far is A Strange Thing Happened in Cherry Hall by Jasmine Warga. The children’s novel was released in early September and has been a favorite ever since. Some books are just that special and is A Strange Thing Happened in Cherry Hall might be one of those novels that stays around on this list for a while.

The second novel on the list is Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell and was released in September 2023. Even over a year later, this novel is thriving which is very impressive. We will have to see how long this novel continues to thrive.
In third place is The Sherlock Society by James Ponti which was also released in September 2024. All three books in the top three were released in September. That is the key having a popular children’s book. These publishers know what the best time is to release a novel and September seems to be it.
Conclusion
These are the ten best selling children’s books of 2024 so far. With the year close to ending, I don’t think this list will change much. Have you bought or gifted any of these books? What other children’s books did you think would make the list? Let us know in the comments below!
