Bill in a China Shop

This book is hilariously clever. My son is not even 3 and was enthralled with this story!

The clever rhymes make this story a true delight to read. My 4 year old daughter loved reading this story multiple times.

Bill is not your average bull, for instead of being rough and tumble, Bill is a sensitive soul who has a marvelous collection of china cups. However, Bill doesn't do well when he's around fragile items, so when he begins browsing antique and china shops, searching for one more perfect cup, he is plagued by one very big problem: getting in the front door. For most china shops don't allow bulls entry. But then Bill comes across a china shop that permits entry to bulls, and suddenly all bets are off. BILL IN A CHINA SHOP is an adorable new children's book that will be loved by the whole family. Bill is a cute character, who is plagued by prejudice just because of his size. However, his wonderful outlook on life, and the people and things surrounding him is admirable, and will teach children that they should be happy in their own skin, whether big or small, black or white. A wonderful addition to the children's picture book genre! Erika Sorocco Book Review Columnist for The Community Bugle Newspaper

You know how kids want you to read the same book over and over and over again? Well, with this one, you'll actually enjoy it!

This book is one for everyone in the family to enjoy. When your child asks you to read it again and again, you will enjoy doing it. The rhythm and rhyme give this book a fun pace and it rolls off the toungue. There is humor and tenderness wrapped through the story. It would make a great teaching tool in school as well - teaching about differences and acceptance. I highly recommend this book!

Tim Raglin illustrates this story of Bill, a huge bull who is no good around fragile things - but who loves his collection of china cups. He needs one more perfect cup to complete his collection - but most china shop doors want bulls to stay out. When he does gain entry, tragedy strikes in this fun whimsical story - Raglin's illustrations are perfect accompaniments.
