Mad stuff just happens with Billy Bonkers! Billy is a bouncy, bubbly, bonkers boy. And wherever he goes, off-the-wall adventures always seem to follow. From bouncing so hard on his trampoline that he bounces up, up and away...into space, and eating so much porridge his stomach puffs up and he floats into the garden tree (and gets stuck...until he burps anyway), to a flight on a deflating lilo to biff a big, vicious shark right on the nose! Along with his wacky dad, brainy sister and down-to-earth mum, Billy embarks on a life that is never boring, it's bonkers! This zany text is perfectly accompanied by Nick Sharratt's energetic illustrations. No library descriptions found. |

Main character is male
what utter noncence, in the best way possible
"Whether he's flying through the air propelled by porridge power, or blasting headfirst into a chocolate-covered planet - life is nover boaring wil Billy, it's bonkers!"
This is an easy to read book, although it contains three seperate stories it could also be seen as a 3 chapter book as the stories are linked.
The narritive is funny and a little nonsensical but it lacks decriptive text leaving this up to the illustratins to fill in. My main gripe in childrens books of having speach bubbles in the illustrations which are part of the text is also present here.
although i have put this as P4 the story is prehaps suited to a younger age group so good for the advanced readers
