Bronze Man Books is pleased to announce the publication of Monsters Don't Read by Heather Champion, illustrated by Chris Knudson.

"Monsters don't read, we don't know how.
I will not read, not later, not now."

Monster resists learning to read with the rest of his class. He will not learn his ABC's, he will not spell C-A-T. But as the rest of his class enjoys the world of books, Monster begins to feel left out.

Monsters Don't Read was created by Heather Champion, a second grade teacher in Argenta-Oreana, Illinois. With vivid illustrations, this book promotes literacy and the courage to try new things.

See the Monsters Don't Read web page.

The 40-page book is available for $12 plus $2.50 postage. (Contact rbrooks@millikin.edu for special orders or quantity discounts.)
