BILLY Hard cover 32pp 29x25cm ISBN 0-473-11144-6 Published 2006 Available Now! CLICK HERE TO SEE INSIDE		‘My teacher is a magnificent creature. She lives in an ancient house with a turret and a finial, two cats, an axylotl, and a Kune Kune pig called Daniel. She eats black pudding and banana cake for breakfast and cold Kim Chee for lunch. She sings Kiss me, honey, honey on the way to school and sometimes serenades us into class. She says work should be a pleasure but play must be even better. My Dad says they certainly broke the mould when they made Ms Love.’ Billy Button can’t keep his mouth shut or his temper under control. It makes preparation for the annual Pet and Produce Day a nightmare. Not only that: Room 7 is a competitive class of over-achievers, teacher’s pets and anarchists – and worse, he has to wrestle with the community judges’ arcane and rigid rules. Lolly relates her version of the events, around P & P day and, in particular, Billy’s struggle to express himself. With characteristic wit and precocity Lolly plumbs the heart of Billy’s quest to overcome his learning and temperamental difficulties – under the compassionately creative guidance of the inimitable Ms Love. Lolly empathises with Billy’s frustrations and escapism and cheers on his ingenuity and unique solutions. Lolly’s and Billy’s imaginations run riot, and so do the events of P & P Day – just the way Ms Love likes things to go: ‘not with a whimper, but a bang!’
