Summary

Awesome author Jon Scieszka along with other fellow authors of boy books came together to create a website dedicated to all of those reluctant boy readers. Users can access lists of books for boys, books of the month, blogs and news just for boys. Parents and educators will also benefit from advice on starting programs for boys, facts on boys and reading and links to other websites that brings books and boys together. 

Review

As a parent and librarian bringing together books and boys us a huge feat and a huge accomplishment. I have used this website in the past for program ideas and reproducible book lists. It is a shame that this website hasn't been updated since 2010 but I decided to still include it in this blog because the book lists and facts are still as popular as ever.
