I'm always on the look out for recommended books geared towards boys. Even though I love classic literature, I haven't yet pushed it too much on my boys because I'm still trying to re-instill that love of reading in them. (Accelerated Reader in their public schools just about killed their desire to read.)
I thought it would be great to share here some of the books we've found that appeal to boys. Here's a few I've found so far...
Diary of a Wimpy Kid series (this got both of my boys hooked back into reading)
Champions of the Wilderness (great nonfiction for boys interested in conservation)
Wings by Loizeaux, William (sweet story about a boy adopting an abandoned baby bird.)
The Tarantula in My Purse by Jean Craighead George (a memoir of a family who raised all sorts of different wild animals)
We're about to start reading some of the Hank Zipzer series. They're supposed to be similar to the Wimpy Kid series. I'll post back after we see how those go over.
