This book left me in hysterics! Other than being amazing it was also smart and cheeky. I would recommend this to older readers who enjoy a bit of a laugh.

I really liked this book because it has a good ending. It was fiction . I liked Bill the best.

This book was really funny and I enjoyed reading it. It was about a badger called Bill and he is captured by a mean family called the Mcgloones. They want to make him into a pie and he nearly has to fight 3 vicious dogs, but then Uncle Shawn saves him. Together they also saved 4 llamas they were going to be made into ham- bags but then the moles burrow under the llamas electric fence and it falls over. And the llamas jump over the Mcgloones are chasing them round and round the fence and the last llama just has to jump but he wont do it!The Mcgloones step on the electric fence In the end he does and they all live at a llama farm together.they also live in the Mcgloones farm house and the llama farm is a luxury farm. It has hammocks and lemonade troughs.

This is a funny story about a badger anf a few lamas that need rescuing. It's a really funny and simple story for any age.

It's a book that's not afraid to go a tiny bit horrible even for younger readers, with adorable illustrations and listicles. If you like animals, adventures and poems about socks then you'll love this book.
