Sports Books

A lot of people believe that boys don't read. Well, that is not exactly true. Boys read and they read a lot. They just read different things then girls do. Boys love
non-fiction. So being the well rounded reader that I claim to be, I decided that I
needed to read some non fiction. I read three books by Joe Layden; National Football League: Behind the Scenes, Xtreme Sports: Fast Track, and Xtreme Sports: Summer. I also read a book Xtreme Sports: Cutting
Edge by E.J. Maxwell.

The three Xtreme books told stories of xtreme athletes who surf, skateboard,
and motor cross. The stories were short biographical pieces where a student could pick up the book and read the piece in a couple of minutes. Students would love these books.

The NFL book looks at the National Football League over a year's time. The book does have some text but it is mainly beautiful photographs. A teacher could also use this book to teach graphs and charts.

Great non fiction books for students.
