For the fourth month in a row, Dav Pilkey's Dog Man volumes take the top six slots in the list of the Top 20 Kids Graphic Novels in the book channel, based on NPD BookScan data for March (3/3/19-4/6/19) provided to ICv2.  The rest of the top 20 was also similar to last month’s chart, with one new title; Big Nate: Payback Time!, at #8, bumped Hilo Book 5 out of the Top 20.

Graphix continues to dominate, with 14 of the top 20 titles.
