Battle of the Books (BOB), is a national program that encourages students to read by offering them exciting, friendly competition based on their knowledge of a group of books. The goal of the program is to encourage interactive reading of excellent children’s fiction through discussion of these books by teams of four to six students.

Adams 12 teacher librarians have compiled a list of ten award-winning children’s books. Fifth grade students read the books, discuss them, quiz each other on the contents, and compete in teams to answer questions based on the books in a “quiz show” format.
