July 19, 2001 Book Sense Parenting and Pregnancy Specialty Bestseller List Based on one month of sales from independent bookstores across the country. This month's Book Sense Specialty Bestseller List is Parenting and Pregnancy, which showcases the top 25 bestselling books in this category from over 375 independent bookstores. The list covers all facets of childrearing, from pregnancy to childbirth to parenting for every age from birth through the teen years. The perennially bestselling What to Expect… titles top the list, as does Tracy Hogg's Secrets of the Baby Whisperer, at number two. The popular Girlfriends' Guides also made the list, as did many titles focusing on raising boys--Real Boys, Raising Cain, Real Boys' Voices, and Father to Son--a topic that has garnered much attention in recent years. Not surprisingly, books on helping babies sleep through the night were also big sellers. In addition to Secrets of the Baby Whisperer, both On Becoming Baby Wise: Learn How Over 500,000 Babies Were Trained to Sleep Through the Night the Natural Way and Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child showed up in the top 25. 1.
