Dreamed up by a kid. Written by his dad.

Books boys actually want to read.

Funny, gross, loud picture books for ages 4–8. Dinosaurs, robots, farts, and big machines, written to turn "do I have to?" into "one more page."

It started at bedtime.

My son got bored with the books we'd been reading every night. He'd flip ahead, ask for his trucks, and wander off before the last page.

So I started making up stories about what he actually cared about: dinosaurs, farts, and anything with an engine. He laughed. He asked for them again. Then he started adding his own ideas, like a dinosaur that's also a dragon and also a robot.

Books for Boys turns those bedtime stories into real books, so other parents get the same "one more page" we did.
