CNEWS - Weird News: Authors using humor to get kids reading: "Editors at Scholastic Inc., which publishes Captain Underpants, say that's the goal -- especially when it comes to kids who are 'reluctant readers.'
'For many, many kids, this is the first book they read that starts them on a path of reading,' says Barbara Marcus, president of Scholastic's children's books division.
Librarians call such stories 'book hooks,' says Barbara Genco, immediate past president of Association of Library Services to Children. "
