I have 2 librarian friends on different coasts who claim that children's literature was not boy-friendly. Creepy, yucky things will thrill them and the thinking is, if that's what it takes to get them going, buy those books. Girls did not have the same need because they read for the story. Libraries are working harder to fill their stacks for both boys and girls now and more authors are scribbling for a specific market.
