April 2023 Circana BookScan – Top 20 Kids Graphic Novels

Dog Man is still the top seller on the Top 20 Kids graphic novels in the book channel, based on Circana (formerly NPD) BookScan data for April (4/2/23-4/29/23) provided to ICv2.

For the second month in a row, Dog Man: Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea tops the chart, and Dav Pilkey actually picks up another slot, with 14 books in the top 20, up from 13 in March (see “March 2023 Circana BookScan“).

Debuting at number 8 is Jerry Craft’s School Trip, the third volume of his New Kid trilogy. Craft’s New Kid was one of the top sellers of 2020 (see “Full Year 2020 NPD BookScan“) and 2021 (see “Full Year 2021 NPD BookScan“); both it and the sequel Class Act have appeared frequently in the Top 20.

Aside from that, it’s a very Graphix chart, with that publisher claiming 19 of the 20 slots.
