I can't tell you how hard it is to find books that will appeal to a reluctant reader. Thanks to Billy and his Monster pals though, my son is LOVING reading now and his confidence is soaring. Importantly, they are helping to give him the practice he needs to access reading in the future. * Rachel Morrisroe, author of The Drama Llama *
