Reading has always been important to Napp and me and we desire to instill a love for books and learning into our children. Xylie adores books and stories and loves to "read" to her brother. In fact, the majority of things she now asks me to add to her wishlist are books. Every time we are at bookstore or the book section of a department store, Xylie is just as exited as she would be in the proverbial candy shop. Here is a list of the 20 best-selling Children's books of all time.
