Books for Boys

11/16/2022

0 Comments

 
I am on a quest to find incredible books (both chapter and picture) that showcase BOYS and the incredible gifts God has given them. I want my son to know how awesome his masculinity is, and I want him to heroize boy/male characters who are strong, faithful, steadfast, daring, courageous, and all the things that God made men to be. I've compiled the books that have been recommended to me for this purpose. This is by no means an exhaustive list (and I have neither read nor vetted all of them,) but it's a start!
*note: most are Amazon links; some I found elsewhere on the internet
Hardy Boys
When I'm A Daddy: A Little Boy's Guide to Biblical Fatherhood
Rush Revere Series
Teddy’s Button
Tiger and Tom and Other Stories for Boys
Way of the Warrior Kid
Sir Badalot and the Cranky Danky Dragon
Jesus and My Gender
The Manliness of Christ
Peter Pan
Brave Heroes and Bold Defenders
The Squire and the Scroll
Prince Martin Wins His Sword
The Call of the Wild
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 
Old Yeller (*maybe better for older kids; my small children would be DEVASTATED at the dog dying)
Where the Red Fern Grows
Little Pilgrim's Progress
Lightkeepers Boys Series
Hatchet Series
Boxcar Children (series--there are so many!)
Little Britches (here's the first; there are 8 in the set)
Mikey and the Dragons
My Father's Dragon
Chronicles of Narnia (specifically: The Horse and His Boy)
The Hobbit (my kids especially love this version, with its stunning full color illustrations)
I also discovered this website/blog post with its own list. Worth checking out. 
I hope these titles/links prove helpful to you and your family! If you have a recommendation or few, leave a comment, and I'll add yours to the list!
