The Best Way to Play: Little Bill Books for Beginning Readers

These level 3 chapter books are great confidence builders for those readers just getting comfortable with reading. The story is engaging and the chapters give a sense of accomplishment along with suspense (whats going to happen next). Funny with a good message also.

Little Bill & his friends want the new Space Explorersvideo game! Their parents won't buy it so how can Little Bill & his friends have fun without it? Written by America's most beloved comedian & storyteller, Little Bill Books value of friendships & family. They encourage children to solve problems fairly & creatively...

For the first time, my son has truly enjoyed story time/reading. I can't explain it, but he just adores these Little Bill books. We have tried EVERYTHING to get him interested in reading and listening to stories. Maybe a 4 1/2 yr. old can simply relate! We all like the values being taught as well as the illustrations. It is a real joy to see and hear our son "read" us Little Bill stories. What a blessing these stories/books have been to our family. Thank you Bill and Varnette!

I cannot believe anyone would NOT like this book! My 6 year old said "Hey, I like this book!". She was AMAZED by it. It's IMAGINATIVE and written from the kids point of view. What a concept! It tells the story of a boy who discovers for himself the truth about something instead of being "preached to" by his parents. As good parents know, a lecture isn't always the best way to teach a child something. Sometimes life can do a better job (in some areas). This book shows that.

Right off the bat, the illustrations make you want to read this "easy" [high-interest/limited vocabulary]book. Little Bill is an "everyboy" character whose life is enriched through interactions with his family, friends, and most of all--his own imagination! I use this book to teach character lessons to my 5th grade students and to get them hooked on reading, even though this book could be read independently by much younger students. This series is going into my personal literary treasure chest for my future grandchildren. It's like watching a great movie between the covers--far better than any old video game!
