Many a children's book over the years has hinged on a piece of magic—a potion, a princess, a pebble. The story in children's publishing this year hinged on two particularly magic words: fantasy and sequel. And when it's a year that has a new Harry Potter title, the numbers soar off the charts into a realm all their own.

In 2005 the sixth and penultimate Harry Potter book far outsold any other book in America—13.5 million copies. Runnerup on the hardcover list: another penultimate title—Lemony Snicket's The Penultimate Peril (#12 in the projected series of 13), which came in at just under 1.8 million copies sold, followed closely by Christopher Paolini's Eragon sequel, Eldest, at 1.75 million.

Several other followups to previous hits also sold in big numbers: Girls in Pants (777,000); If You Give a Pig a Party (480,000); the fourth Artemis Fowl book (450,000); Snowmen at Christmas, followup to 2002's sleeper Snowmen at Night (309,000); Jingle Bells, Batman Smells, the latest Junie B. Jones title (307,000); Cornelia Funke's Inkspell, sequel to Inkheart (246,000); and Flush (209,000), Carl Hiaasen's next kids' novel after his Newbery Honor-winning Hoot.

Narnia was the big story in paperbacks: 9.8 million copies of the seven backlist titles flew off the shelves, thanks to the December movie (worldwide gross: $692 million), as well as 3.9 million other Narnia titles in various formats, for a grand total of 13.7 million books sold.

Elsewhere on the charts, Shel Silverstein had a posthumous hit in Runny Babbit (469,000), Eric Carle's 10 Little Rubber Ducks racked up big sales (374,000); James Patterson kicked off a series for kids with Maximum Ride (302,000); and Robert Sabuda's newest pop-up was Winter's Tale (285,000). Notable this year was the dearth of big celebrity books; only Caroline Kennedy's poetry collection, A Family of Poems (275,000), and Paul McCartney's foray into picture books, High in the Clouds (206,000), made top-selling showings.

For the full set of numbers, read on.
