This morning I overheard a mom at Hen's school ask our librarian a question about what kind of books to introduce to her son. It sounds like he's still in the zone of wanting to be read to rather than read by himself. It got me thinking about the amazing selection of boy books out there that we've discovered since Hen's reading picked up.
