Billy is scared of THE DARK. And to make things worse, there is something creeping around his room at night. The something has a squeaky little voice. It likes eating cheese. AND school ties. Strangest of all, it leaves behind tiny purple footprints and has made a nest in his sock drawer. What could it be? Find out in the first of six fantastic adventure stories. Divided into six chapters and contains comic strips as part of the story. helpful in easing fears and anxieties about the dark (and monsters) a hilarious way to make monsters more fun and friendly, and hopefully alleviate fears of the dark and bedtime! i can't wait to read the rest of this series!
Perfect first chapter book My son can't wait to get the rest of the series! This is a perfect chapter book to get reluctant readers to boost their confidence!
Funny book for boys My son is reading this book right now, laughing and yelling out things like, """"that's not scary!"""" This is the second Billy and the Mini Monsters he has read (both today) and he loves both; they're the first chapter books he has ever read more than 2 pages of. I'm hoping the content will help him with his fear of the dark and shadows. The pages are colorful and fun, the book is funny, and some of the illustrations resemble comic books.
Reluctant reader NO MORE!!!! YAY!!!! My 8 yr old has fought me tooth & nail when it comes to reading chapter books….until now! He has read the allotted time today and yesterday with no complaints and just said """"Where is my book? I want to read more!"""" He's going to finish this book soon. I'm glad I bought the whole series! Yay!
Buy the collection, you won't be sorry! Both my daughters LOVE this series! My 6th grader read the first two to my kindergartner as she took a bath and they were disappointed I didn't have more for them so I'd definitely recommend picking up the collection, there's a little price break and you WILL want to read them all!
Perfect chapter book with glossy pics and graphic details My 6 year old son loves Billy and the Mini Monsters. He is an advanced reader, so can already read chapter books. Being a six year old, he also likes bright pictures and fun stories. These are the perfect books for him. The pages are glossy and have colorful graphic novel/comic strip details throughout. The story was interesting and the illustrations captured his imagination. Can't wait to get all of the books in the series l.
Hilarious My daughter was belly laughing at this book. We loved it so much, we immediately ordered the rest of the series, and we are having so much fun reading these books. I hope they publish more of them!
Fantastic chapter book series for newer readers Billy and the Mini-Monsters was a little scary at first (monsters in the dark!) but the humor of the """"toots"""" overcame the fear of the book and my boys are greatly enjoying this series. It's a fantastic chapter book series for newer readers.

Billy is trying to stay awake so the SCARY creatures of the dark won't come. But then he hears a squeaky little voice and notices some tiny purple footprints. Not only that, SOMETHING has ATTACKED his cheese sandwich. What could it be? An exciting addition to the Usborne Young Reading Programme, specially written for readers growing in confidence.

A really clever, funny book. When we see the story from the mini monsters' point of view, the book becomes a cartoon, which is really imaginative and my four year old twins really enjoyed that aspect. Toppsta reader review
