Some boys are less motivated to read due to a lack of role models. They may think reading isn’t cool or is only for girls. Not true at KDL!

Meet the West Michigan Whitecaps!

Despite all the time these guys spend on the field, they still realize the importance of taking time to read.

Fortunately KDL has them covered with lots of great books for sports fans of all ages.  Check out these book lists for kids, teens, and adults, or a recent post about Chris Crutcher, a popular teen author who writes books that center around athletes.

Also, don’t forget, there is 1 more week left to enter Guys Read to Win.  You could win an autographed copy of The Wednesday Wars by Gary Schmidt, a book that prominently features Mickey Mantle and other players from the 1968 Yankees.  All you have to do is rate or review a book for Guys Recommend by the end of April and you are entered.
