Billy's Talent

Billy Bunsen is the school nerd. He's very clever, but also very lonely. He's desperate to make friends but all the other children just find him boring. So, in an attempt to impress them he decides to do something 'extra special' for the school talent show. Will his plan work, or will he stay 'Billy no-mates' forever?

Children will love 'Billy's Talent' with it's fun, silly and occasionally revolting rhymes, whilst parents will love the engaging story that's perfect for reading out loud again and again...

“The day of the show was finally here,
as the lights went down slowly to a deafening cheer.
Backstage the atmosphere was excitedly brimming,
with each act dreaming of triumphantly winning.”

“There were singers and dancers, musicians galore,
a dog act, a strong-boy who lifted a door.
Five dancers who laboured through a long boring routine,
Sam, the school-bully, who burped ‘God Save the Queen’.”

“There were contortionists, rappers, a girl with a worm,
a juggler, a knitter! They all had a turn.
There was a bell ringer, a ventriloquist whose lips kept on moving,
and a comedian the teachers did not find amusing...”

Reader's comments:
- “Wonderfully illustrated and a great read. Five stars all round.”
- “My 7 year old loves reading this at bedtime. He giggles at the same bits every time. And so do I.”
- “I bought this for my daughter and we both enjoyed it from the very first time we read it together. The pictures are really funny which just adds to the wonderful story that rhymes and flows so easily. A pleasure to read. Definitely a new family favourite.”
- “There are some books I like reading to my son, which he doesn't like, and there are some books that he wants me to read to him, which I don't like. Fortunately, this book is loved by both of us. We read it again straight away on the first night. Very funny!”
- “Lovely book. Lovely story. Lovely pictures. Lovely characters. It's just perfect.”
