I am soooo excited! Courtney, over at Swimming Into Second, is having a linky that I totally can relate to! Showcasing books that boys like! I know I have now written 3 sentences that end with exclamation points, but I cannot help myself. Boys make up a big percentage of my Title 1 reading classes and of course books are what I love!!
I have found over the years that boys love books. We just need to find the ones that fit them, which means different books fit different boys. But there are lots of books out there that most boys will like. Here are a few of the books that I have found that boys will look at and read over and over.
My younger students love all of the Fly Guy books. What is it about this fly that they like so much? Who knew a fly could be so funny and interesting!
Thanks for linking up Lori! I have that same joke book and one of my boys is always reading it.

My boys (and girls) also love Fly Guy. They love Mo Willems and No, David books too. I'm sure you do a wonderful job of hooking your boys, partly because you make sure that what you do is meaningful and authentic!

Joke books are the winner in my room, too! And they all still love Dairy of a Wimpy Kid series! Fun post! Thank you!

I totally forgot about Captain Underpants. I got the Dumb Bunnies in, but I just forgot about those. My son still loves them!

Hi Lori,
I hadn't seen Fly Guy before. I will have to find a copy.
I was glad you had this linky, Courtney! Great idea to find new books. ๐
We love Mo Willems and the David books too, Tammy! Thanks for the compliment too. ๐
Thanks Amy! The boys just love Fly Guy!
Thanks Lindsay! They do like the Diary of the Whimpy Kid books. ๐
Oh yes, the Dumb Bunnies, Andrea! They love the silliness of them. ๐
Mary, they will enjoy the Fly Guy books! Thanks for dropping by!
Those are some great book suggestions, thank you! Fly Guy is definitely a favorite in my classroom too. Your blog is adorable and I'm your newest follower!

Oh! Your NG Joke book reminded me of the … what are they. Strange but True books?
And so right. If it has gross or disgusting or unexplained or terror or "vs" in the title they are usually hooked! ๐
Caitlin, I just had a conversation this week with our librarian about how poplular Fly Guy is! We can't figure why, but they do really like those books. Thank you for the kind words about my blog and for following! I just stopped by your blog and left you a comment. ๐
Ms.O, those boys do love the gross or strange in books don't they? Thank you for stopping by! I have just gone to your blog and left you a comment. ๐
When one of my boys was growing up, all he liked to read were gadgety science books. And now as an adult it's mostly non-fiction!
I just read your kind comment on my blog about putting my snowmen on TpT. Well, it's so funny that you said that, cause that's what I've been working on the last two days. I just finished putting up some Valentine stuff too. Just keeping my fingers crossed that I did it correctly!
Take care and Happy New Year, Lori!
Looks like you uploaded correctly! I downloaded them there to check for you and it worked great. I also left you some feedback. Congratulations on opening your store!! ๐
