I was surprised how this category of genre has changed. Like informational picture books and Photographic essays, diaries, and activity/ craft books. It is not just a biography or a resource book. Now I come across a book and I can determine if it is a "faction" like the example Diary of a Worm or Diary of a fly.
Like Prof. Pickett mentioned, something we all need to remember is about how boys learn and take to reading. Boys usually hate to read because they are disengaged. We as teachers need to introduce literature, whether it be non-fiction or not, so they can see themselves in the text. When you interest them with something they like, you will have an engaged reader.
