Books Boys Love
Parents often wonder how they can engage their boys in enjoying reading. They are looking for books that aren’t too girly and that their sons will enjoy. Therefore, it is no surprise that one of the biggest questions that I get is, “What books do you suggest for a __year old boy?” This question has inspired me to make a list of books from my favorite book publishing company, Usborne Books and More. Below you will find a list of books that tend to be boys favorites along with the age that they are appropriate for.
Boys tend to like books that fit into 6 different categories. Of course this is just a brief list of the most popular and not all inclusive.
