Billy : a Lolly Leopold Story
Author(s): Kate De Goldi
Billy Button can't keep his mouth shut or his temper under control, which makes his 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 even worse, he has to wrestle with the community judges' arcane and rigid rules. Can Lolly Leopold help Billy come out on top?
