Abstract

The authors discuss ways to evaluate whether book selections are appropriate and of interest to particular children. They then review books that may be of interest to individuals within varying populations. A sidebar highlights the work by Jeffrey D. Wilhelm and Michael Smith on the literate lives of boys and how this research informs our roles as teachers in helping boys to engage in books. The article features a selection of books with boys as protagonists, along with reviews of books that may be of interest to girls and to children with special needs.
