One of the many great things about this series is that although one is "for girls" and the other "for boys", Billie and Jack are best friends, so for most of the books, they both appear, and can be easily enjoyed by either boys or girls.
Both series are written for 4-7 year olds, and focus on issues that are relevant to our growing kids. There are four chapters in each book, with a maximum of 50 words to page. They are fantastic as read-alouds for younger kids and simple enough for building confidence in early readers. These have also been widely popular in second grade classrooms, where they are at an appropriate level for students having trouble reading, but also an adequate level for a quick read for more advanced readers.
