Jon Scieszka....name sound familiar? Well, maybe his popular children's books, "Stinky Cheese Man" and "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs" ring a bell. Boys flock to these books because of of their humor, crude sayings, and laughable illustrations.
In a abrupt way to say to boys, who are out playing ball or filling time with video games, Scieszka says READING IS COOL! His new website, guysread.com, has an arsenal of reading recommendations and interactive links to all things book.
As an educator and aunt to three young boys, my favorite part about this website is their goal to encourage all boys (guys), whom studies show are becoming less and less interested in reading over the years, to become life long readers.
*** This website is not only boy friendly, girls can also visit this site to find out about good books and other reading resources.
