Customer Reviews

An excellent book
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!

Bill's New Frock - by Anne Fine
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 :)

My Year 4 Children LOVE it!
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.
