More About the Author

Hi.
Thanks for checking up on me. Probably best to go over to my web site: www.Billmyers.com for biography information. And if you're really bored, there's my fan site over on Facebook:

If you're a student and your class reads one of my books, I'll do a 'meet the author' 30 min question and answer session by speakerphone with your class from my office here in California. If you're a reader's group, the same thing goes...in which case I'd recommend ELI to really get the discussion juices flowing - at least until THE GOD HATER comes out in 2010. Thanks for stopping by!

When i first read this book i could not put it down. I read it at least five times. This Christian book is a bout a boy named Wally McDougal and his adventure in and around a museum. If you like very funny books you must read it!!

This review is from: My Life as Dinosaur Dental Floss (The Incredible Worlds of Wally McDoogle #5) (Kindle Edition)

As a dental professional, it's natural for me to notice a book with the words "dental floss" in the title - and that's what happened when I saw a copy of My Life as Dinosaur Dental Floss. I was looking for books for my daughter, who is an elementary school teacher, so that she could use them in her classroom.

Although it's a children's book, I read it, too - and found it quite entertaining. The main character, Wally McDoogle, has an enormous imagination and finds himself in the middle of an outrageous adventure - and some broad hints are given that this wasn't Wally's first crazy adventure. And, without giving anything away that would spoil the ending of the book for other readers, here's where the title came from: Wally gets himself out of a potentially disastrous situation by becoming dental floss for a dinosaur.

This book is written for children in the upper elementary school grades, but I could picture parents reading this book to younger children and then even using the humor in the book as a way to begin discussing the importance of dental floss and preventative dental care, overall.
