Our picture book (combined with board book) circulation last year was the highest circulating children's format (higher than fiction or easy readers, for instance.) I think that part of the issue with the bookstores is that the books are expensive (comparatively) in hardcover and may not have an extended reading life. Of course there are those classics or the personal appeal books that will be read over and over, but thank goodness for being able to check out an armload of picture books from the library!
