Bears beat dogs, cats, and the combined forces of team rabbit/bunny to be the number one animal in the title of children’s books. Without the alliance of rabbit and bunny, the fourth place role would be filled by dragons. About one in every 321 children’s books has “dragon” in the title, crushing others in the Fantasy Creatures category, including mermaid (1 in 1,411), minotaur (1 in 14,769) and jackalope (1 in 74,900). In other news, I believe I have identified a gap in the market. Please look out for The Yellow Minotaur, my soon-to-be-bestseller in the children’s category, hitting bookstores this fall.
