Little Man adores graphic novels. His first love is Lunch Lady. He has read all 10 and we are patiently waiting for a new book in the series! Hoping to find a new series for him to devour, I recently purchased Squish #1, Super Amoeba. To my delight, he took it to school and finished it-cover to cover- in one day! It’s simple with most young boys- get them laughing and you get them reading!
This brother-sister {illustrator/writer} team combine simple a simple color palette and a reader friendly-lay out with story lines focused on navigating school, life and bullies! That is a one, two punch. Books that kids want read and parents are happy to buy!
Give Squish a try! There are 6 titles in this series and counting.
For more great resources on how to get your guy to read, pop on over to Guys Read. It is a web-based literacy program for boys, founded by author and First National Ambassador of Young People’s Literature -Jon Scieszka, with a mission to help boys become self-motivated, lifelong readers. Good stuff!!
