Hello,
I've mentioned before the power of the graphic novel for the reluctant reader but I want to mention briefly how some are especially appealing to both boys and girls.
Sleepy Bear co-hosts a book club for girls at Mockingbird Books in Greenlake, Washington. We meet once a month and it is for girls ages 6-10. Our first book selection was the BABYMOUSE books. The students in my class also read Sleepy Bear's blog so they learned about the book club. Well, it's not only the girls who are enjoying the book club via Sleepy Bear's blog, but the boys are reading BABYMOUSE, too. I can't keep enough of the books in my classroom.
Fortunately for me, I enjoy reading the books just as much as Sleepy Bear and his book club buddies. The authors are a brother and sister team, Matthew and Jennifer Holm.
Happy Reading,
Kathleen
