It was funny because Bilal nearly got caught on what’s what, win the lot. He had a bee that helped him and he had to go in a machine to see if he had cheated. Nobody could see that he did cheat and he got the money, which was chocolate money. I think people would like to read it.

I liked this book because Bilal won all of the prizes and had a talking bee friend. I wish I had a talking bee! I’m hoping Bumble the bee is in my classroom - the book says he might be!!!

I recommend you to read it because it really has some nice stuff and also there are wobbly words to show that means something important.

It’s about a boy named Bilal and he had a spelling test at school and he wasn’t that great at spelling. At night there was a bee in his bedroom that would help him… Read the book to find out what happens to Bilal and his spelling test.

I've read this book with my family a few times now. I like the pictures. A good story that can be read in two nights.

This book was just ok. It’s not my kind of thing. Because it’s not exciting but it is funny.

I liked the parts with the test in it because I liked finding out what the things were. Bilal cheated to win the programme 'What's What? You've won the lot!'. He found a bee who answered all the questions except the hardest one. The aim of 'What's What? You've won the lot!' is to answer all 101 questions before time runs out. My favourite character is Nanu because she is kind and caring. The story shows that if your not good at something, you are good at something else.

I read this book and Tony Ross (the authour) has used his imagination very well because I have never read a book so interesting! Even my parent wanted to know more about it. My thoughts about what I have read are that there is a boy called Bilal, he is horrible at answering questions and then a bee who can talk came up to him and helps him answer all the questions for his super hard test (according to him). Then Bilal gets chosen for the TV program "What's what, Win the lot" The bee helps him with 100 questions but lets him do the last one. the last one he gets correct because he used his imagination. My favourite charecter is the bee who helps Bilal with all the questions I would recommend this to someone else.

This book has lots of suspense and a good twist at the end

It is a fiction story about a boy and a very clever bee. Although they cheated in a quiz together in the end Bilal learns that he is better doing things by himself.

I like Bilal's brilliant bee because he knows everything apart from one question which is What is the letters on the label. I would recommend it because it is a clever book.
