5.0 out of 5 stars My Year 4 Children LOVE it!, 29 Dec 2004

By	Miss Nicholls (Hertfordshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bill's New Frock (Paperback)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a girl's world!, 21 Jun 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bill's New Frock (New Longman Literature 11-14) (Paperback)

Anne Fine explores the gender issue of how the sexes are treated differently in the world today. It is written in a humorous manner which makes it accessible to every primary school child. We are taken on Bill's journey through a school day as a girl. From the shocking opening line to the fast paced dialogue this book ensures that we all have the desire to reach the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars thought-provoking for adults and kids, 3 Nov 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bill's New Frock (Paperback)

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.
