Jon Scieszka’s Guys Read initiative is based around a simple premise: give guys reading that they can love, and they’ll fall in love with reading. And there’s something for every guy between the covers of this, the first book in Jon’s Guys Read library. Guys Read: Funny Business is chock-full of the stuff that guys love most-humor-and will include all-new exclusive short stories from some of the most exciting, beloved, freshest, funniest, and generally well-mannered writers working today, as well as illustrations throughout from New York Times bestselling illustrator Adam Rex.

Future books in the series will include sci-fi/fantasy, mystery, and sports, and will release simultaneously in hardcover and paperback.
