Yes they do!
Today’s post title is stolen from the name of a blog I just discovered via the crazy guys at Boys Rule Boys Read. They highlighted a post in which Deborah Ford, awesome teacher and librarian, posts on her blog Libraries Matter a fine, fine list of the top Books for Boys of 2009.
Not only is this an extensive list with nuggets like 11 Birthdays and Sent (both of which have SF underpinings), but she gives the reading level of the books.
Bless her.
Deborah is also the author of Scary, Gross and Enlightening: Books for Boys Grades 3-12, which catapults her into the stratosphere of awesome for advocating good reads for boys. See her Internet Hotlist on boys and books.
And in the category of Friday Funnies, I leave you with this:
What will those librarians think of next?
Where do I begin with what I love about this post? Thank you for pointing me toward Guys Rule Guys Read – awesome. Thank you for the list of boy books – love it. And that picture – ha ha ha.
I want a cat in my library! Although our kittens seem to think they own to bookshelves in our house too.
