AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Boys do anything and everything! They notice their feelings, they nurture others, they read and learn. Boys take turns, have big dreams, ask others to join in their play, and comfort friends who might be needing it. They show affection, give hugs and get to be themselves. Boys are often raised to reflect specific gender role stereotypes. 

Dr. Lasser shows that boys can do anything they want, including things opposite of those stereotypes. I loved that the text is written in mostly questions - perfect for follow up discussions. Magination always includes a reader's note with ways for parents to support. This would make a great baby gift as well.
