Summertime in a rural community is fertile ground for new friendships, even of the unexpected kind. When a little girl named Steffanie loses her best friend, she has no idea that a new friend will come into her life in the form of a boy! Stephanie learns that boys aren't so bad, and they don't have cooties! There's Nothing Wrong with Boys is a delightful and humorous story that kids will enjoy reading or having read to them. Most girls who don't grow up with siblings of another gender sometimes feel boys aren't cool and they are quickly put on the no play list. As Steffanie discovers, however, boys can be fun, too. With creative ideas and shared imaginations at work, Steffanie and her new friend have a blast during their summertime together. Author Erin Stratton has been writing for eight years and says her inspiration for the book came from her daughter when she was four or five years old. A little boy moved into the house next door. He always wanted to play with my daughter, who would say, 'Mom, no way, I'm not playing with him. He probably smells and I don't want cooties.' Thus, the book There's Nothing Wrong with Boys was born. Publisher's website: http: //www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TheresNothingWrongWith Boys.htm
