Bill Simpson wakes up to find he’s a girl, and worse, his mother makes him wear a frilly pink dress to school. How on earth is he going to survive a whole day like this? Everything just seems to be different for girls.

This book sets a good example for boys because it shows you can wear whatever you want to wear. It also shows how boys and girls can be treated differently.

This book was ok, it was unusual for a boy to wake up then he is a girl but anything can happen in fiction stories.

My favourite character was Bill's mum because she made Bill wear the frock to school. I would recommend this book to someone who is interest in books that start with a crazy beginning to make the story fun!

I thought this book was funny and the person I liked best was Bill because I kind of wanted a dress like that! I would recommend this read to everybody and what was so special about the dress it looked very frilly and most dresses don't have pockets.

I found this book not very exciting and I did not find any interesting part reading it. It is about a boy that one morning wakes up and finds out that all his wardrobe is full of girls' dresses and tights. Therefore, he has to wear a frock for the whole day, even at school where everyone thought he was a girl. When he comes back home his mum tells him to take off the dress and after he takes it off he finds that all the clothes in his wardrobe are now boys'. The book was fiction and the person I liked most was Bill because he managed to get through the day without getting angry. If the book was factual it would have interested me because it meant that magic is real. I would not recommend this book to someone else.

This was a very humorous story. I felt a lot of sympathy for Bill experiencing life as a girl for a day. He dealt with it extremely well I thought. Bill, even as a girl, was my favourite character. I would definitely recommend this light-hearted story.

This is a fiction book. I liked Bill because he dreamed that he became a girl. I would recommend this book to children aged 7-8 years old.

I like the book Bill’s new frock because when Bill wakes up he was a girl and Bill’s mum makes him wear a frock for the whole school day and I think it’s a bit funny!
