Gotcha for Guys: Nonfiction Books to Get Boys Excited About Reading
Libraries Unlimited | Kathleen A. Baxter and Marcia Agness Kochell | November 2006 ISBN 10: 159158311X ISBN 13: 9781591583110 Research indicates boys are interested in reading nonfiction materials, yet most children’s librarians prefer to booktalk fiction. Offering citations for more than 1,100 books, Gotcha for Guys! is similar to Baxter’s other titles, Gotcha!, Gotcha Again!, and Gotcha Covered!, but is intended specifically to pique the interest of middle grade boys. A series of booktalks are grouped within chapters with titles such as: Creepy-Crawly Creatures, Disasters and Unsolved Mysteries, Action and Innovation, and All Things Gross. The titles discussed are both new and older titles of particular interest to boys.

Recommended.”—Library Media Connection, August/September 2007 |
