Tuesday is Day Two of Enslow's "Teen Read Week Giveaway." To get a free book from Enslow, we would like your answer to the question "What is the most popular sports book in your library or classroom?" Your answer doesn't have to be the book that's most frequently checked out.

Of course, we're quite curious about which sports books get young students to read, whether it's to read for pleasure, or to read for a purpose. We invite you to post your reply below.

One Enslow staff favorite is Albert Pujols: MVP On and Off the Field, by Tom Needham. The St. Louis Cardinals' star is playing in the World Series starting this week!

Teen Read Week Book Giveaway!

To celebrate Teen Read Week next week, Enslow is hosting a book giveaway. Each day next week we'll be posting a question to librarians and teachers about the most popular books in their libraries and classrooms. Each response on our blog will be eligible to receive a free Enslow book. Check back next week and celebrate Teen Read Week with Enslow!

Enslow Salutes Steve Jobs

All of us at Enslow note with sadness the passing of Steve Jobs. As with many people around the world, Jobs' products and creative zeal touched us and continue to impact our work. We thought his life was so intriguing that, a decade ago, we published his biography. This age-appropriate narrative, relating Jobs' innovative talent and entrepreneurial drive, was welcomed by librarians and teachers. (Thank you!)

Paperback ISBN: 978-1-59845-728-5

We're proud of our Jobs biography, which has neatly fit into the forward-looking titles we have published over three decades for young readers. Enslow continues to provide reliable, well-edited books on the people and trends that shape today's society and tomorrow's leaders. Books on industry giants such as Bill Gates are included among our middle school selections. (Gates, in his blog The Gates Notes, writes a brief, moving tribute to Jobs.) A new Enslow book, Using Technology: A How-To Guide by Sherri Mabry Gordon, explores core issues young readers face in this new, data-driven world. For elementary school students, our Ace Your Oral or Multimedia Presentation title introduces readers in ways to use the very machines Steve Jobs created to communicate and learn in new, exciting ways.

If you're planning an activity or display on Steve Jobs and the spirit of American innovation, Enslow has the books you'll need. Call us or e-mail us today for money-saving offers on these and other Enslow books!
