Please help me .......find the top selling books for children from each decade? ........website search challange for sat morning

[RTKangaMummy]

please help me and DS find

which are the top selling books from 1948 til 2006

I have tried to find websites but no good

please all you computer wizzkids help DS

I am sure someone will be able to find the right website

Not american ones though

.

I knew it was hard but I thought someone here would know where to look

Or is it that on saturday morning everyone is out shopping not mumsnettting

ooooooooooops sorry that sounds really rude of me

I should be more patient

I thought it had been longer than 20 mins since I posted the question

pleaseeeeeeeeeee someone help me

just a little bit

I was out late last night babysitting and am very tired

I have got a stinking cold

And DS will be home soon after 12.30 and I wanted to have some good news for him

please someone help me

Ok I now realise I have come up with the 1st mumsnet challenge that no one can answer

Do I get a prize?

I knew it was difficult but didn't realize that everybody else was as dim as me when it came to trying to find information

sorry for being sooooooooo grumpy

I shall help

Give me some minutes though....

seems like some relevant info here

Whoops that's a US site so not relevant after all!!

Whatever I put in I end up with JK Rowling thrown back at me

Not having much luck though.

The other thing I was thinking of was maybe finding a book forum and asking on there or even your local library.

You could ask the Guardian's Notes & Queries but I doubt you'd get a definitive answer today...

It is tough - I couldn't find any (mind you am working so didn't try for long!)

Thank you guys for all your help

It is for DS homework so he needs to have it for monday morning

he started to look this morning in google but couldn't find anything

so then I started to look and I couldn't either

Why is it so hard ?

I've been googling so many different phrases and words but still nothing.

TheBookseller.com probably could help if you emailed (but not on a Saturday I don't suppose).

Half its sodding links don't work anyway

I have written quewstion to guadian

Have tried book trust too

tried childrens leureate but that won't go back far enough

I amy end up writing a letter to the techer and saying I have tried

and DS has tried

and mumsnet have tried

but the info is hidden somewhere

Thank you for trying for me and DS

I have just discovered that the library in town is open this afternoon -- so DH is going down there after lunch to ask them

Hopefully they will know the answer

HF

LOL Hausfrau!

here is one of the lists that he got from library

here is the 2nd list

I am still not that happy with these cos they are not all well known books

I think this is the best we are going to get

I can't understand why it is soooooo difficult to find out

Thank you for helping us this morning guys

you are all deffo brill and stopped me from going completely mad

Coo - Dogger is from 1977 and Each Peach Pear Plum from 1978!
