 An excellent book September 2, 2007

I bought this for my son who loved it but girls will love it too. Bill wakes up one morning to discover that he is a girl and has a whole day to discover what exactly that is like!

I am 46 and have recently read this book again for the umpteenth time. The author describes the different expectations of behaviour of boys and girls perfectly. A must read for all parents who want to understand their kids behaviour better and for anyone who works with children. Snatch this book really quickly before your kids get hold of it - you might never get it back :)

Once I'd discovered this book I could not put it down. I bought my own copy and took it into school. My Yr 4 children (8 year olds turning 9) were hooked from the very beginning. Bill's feelings (horror & embarrassment) are vividly depicted with such excellent language. We haven't yet finished the book and the children ask me at the end of every day to read them a few more pages. It truly is a gem, and perfect for Lower KS2.
 A book that people should read. June 23, 2003

Bill's new frock
Methuen children book's
The story take's place in his house,outside and at school.
The main characters are bill who is a boy and turned into a girl ,mean Malcalm who is a boy and Miss Colins.
The story is about Bill because he turns into a girl and lots of boys are whistling at him and one night bill turns into a boy again.
The episode I liked best is when bill's mum said "Put this dress becauase it look nice on you.
I liked it best because Bill looks like a real girl and the dress had shells on for the buttons and it looks nice.
I think my friends should read this book because it is funny and very good to read.
thought-provoking for adults and kids November 3, 2000

A great read and a fantastic resource for teaching in primary schools. The story is a whirlwind from start to finish as Bill comes to terms with life wearing a frock. At no point is it explained why Bill had to wear the frock for the day which adds to the interest. The Kafkaesque start will appeal to all adults reading to their children.
