Selected by Indie Booksellers for the Summer 2009 Kids' List
“It would seem impossible to tell an entertaining story in only three or four words, but with the help of some very clever illustrations Feldman has written 13 easy-reading gems. These extremely short stories will be exciting for emerging readers, satisfying for struggling readers, and fun for everyone.”
-- Ellen Davis, Dragonwings Bookstore, Waupaca, WI


Description

Follow Billy and Milly through thirteen adventures in these funny and simple short stories. Through very basic storytelling, these brief narratives are told in only three or four words apiece. For example, ?Stoops (Billy and Milly sit on their front stoops as the ice cream truck drives by.), Hoops (Billy shoots his basketball?), Scoops (?as Milly licks her ice cream cone?), Oops (?until the ball hits the cone and squashes her ice cream!).?

Eve Feldman cleverly uses easily recognizable words in these entertaining episodes, and Tuesday Mourning?s vibrant, playful illustrations jump off the page to bring readers right into the action. With a pair of wonderfully playful characters, Billy and Milly is perfect for anyone who likes a good short story!
