Trivia Books: A Reluctant Reader's Joy

PSA: Trivia books totally count as reading! My most reluctant reader (not this one for sure!) will sit and recite and read random trivia to us all day if we let him. This strange child decided to make pasta with one hand and read facts with the other hand. Why not, right? 😊 . . I have a hard time getting him to read “real books,” so it’s hard to change my thinking that non-fiction short snippets count. It’s hard to not feel like he’s failing somewhere. . . So I scatter around these Weird but True books. Or trivia cards. Or World Record Books. Leave them in the pile they’ve already made on the coffee table or kitchen counter. . . Sit back. And watch. . . And when he wants to tell you how fast the giant pumpkin can grow in one day, act interested. . . If you need a present for my kid #2, go with trivia books. They’re always a winner.
