CHILDREN’S BOOK: Pennsylvanians, it might be said, do not like green eggs and ham.

At least as far as children’s books go.

Instead, those in the Keystone State indicate Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” is their preferred children’s book.

This according to a study by 95 Percent Group, a website that “builds on science to empower teachers — supplying the knowledge, resources and support they need to develop strong readers.”

A report developed to recognize November as National Family Literacy Month ranked the most popular children’s books in each state.

Pennsylvania was in a minority in the study, being one of only three states to list “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” as its top tykes tome. Arkansas and Texas were the other two.

The study was based on the Google volume of nearly 1,600 searches related to kids’ books titles between July 2021 to July 2023 and a survey of nearly 1,000 parents of kids aged 10 or younger about their children’s reading habits.

“One book series many parents turn to is ‘Clifford the Big Red Dog’ by Norman Bridwell,” reads the study. “‘Clifford the Big Red Dog’ was the most-searched children’s book in seven states, four of which are in the Midwest: Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, and Wisconsin.”

Some other titles to receive top billing in various states include “Matilda,” “The Cat in the Hat,” “Goodnight Moon,” “Treasure Island,” “Little House on the Prairie,” “The Lorax” and “Fantastic Mr. Fox.”

Roald Dahl was also found to be the second most popular kid’s book author, with the first being an obvious choice to many: Dr. Seuss.
