Authored by the owner of Cognitive Advantage and former elementary teacher for grades K-12, as well as a library media specialist, this work focuses on two areas of need—raising literacy levels in boys in particular, and the Common Core standards that are being implemented in schools across the United States. . . . While the title implies the book is geared toward working with boys, many of the resources and ideas will work schoolwide with children of both genders. School librarians at the elementary, middle, and high school levels will all benefit from this work . . . Public librarians working with children in K-12 will also benefit, as will classroom teachers seeking titles and ideas for integrating literature across the curriculum.
