The sparkling debut children’s novel from David Walliams, number one bestseller and fastest growing children’s author in the country, with sparkling new cover look to tie in with later books.

Dennis was different. Why was he different, you ask? Well, a small clue might be in the title of this book… Charming, surprising and hilarious – The Boy in the Dress is everything you would expect from the co-creator of Little Britain. David Walliams’s beautiful first novel will touch the hearts (and funny bones) of children and adults alike.

It was amazing. I loved how Denis had the courage to stand up for himself. My favourite character is Raij because he is so funny with making strange offers. This book is great and I would recommend it to people who love to be different!

The boy in the dress by David Walliams illustrated by Quentin Blake I liked Dennis because he dressed up in a pink, wavy dress while he was playing football. All of his team done it as well. I would recommend it 7+ Bye

I really enjoyed this book. I particularly liked Raj, the confectionery shop owner. He was really funny and sometimes confusing. This is a book all about genders and how you can wear anything you like. I would recommend this book to anyone who is different because that’s okay.
