Product description

Just like a superhero, bouncy Billy Bonkers can make anything happen! Who else would wear turbo-charged trousers at sports day, or trampoline all the way into space? But now, there’s something Billy doesn’t want you to know. Come closer… I’ll whisper it! He has to wear his sister’s frilly knickers! And whether Billy is flying round a go-kart track, chasing a very smelly dog or finding some priceless hidden treasure, he keeps having to explain: “THEY’RE NOT MY PANTS!” Three zany stories bursting with madness and mayhem – a pure energy rush!

“It takes a certain amount of panache to carry off great community-saving exploits while wearing one’s sister’s frilly underpants… Kids will belly-laugh.” Guardian

“For up-to-date fiction, Giles Andreae’s Billy Bonkers is a real laugh.” The Independent

Giles Andreae

Giles Andreae is one of the most successful children’s writers today, and is best known for his picture books like Commotion in the Ocean.

Giles started writing stories when he was a primary school. He studied English at Oxford University and his first book for children,Rumble in the Jungle, was an instant hit. Giles has gone on to write many bestselling books for children, including The Lion Who Wanted to Love, winner of the Red House Book Award, and I Love My Mummy, winner of the Booktrust Early Years Award. Giraffes Can’t Dance, published in 1999, has become an international children’s classic, selling over 1.5 million copies worldwide.

Giles’s children’s books have, to date, sold more than 3 million copies, making him one of the most successful children’s authors working today.

Giles is the creator of Britain’s favourite stickman, Purple Ronnie, and the hugely successful Edward Monkton poetry range. He lives in Oxfordshire with his wife, Victoria, and their four children. His own personal favourite children’s book is Yertle the Turtle by Doctor Seuss.

Nick Sharratt

Nick Sharratt needs little introduction with books going down a storm time and time again. He has written and illustrated many books for children, and also enjoys great success illustrating books for Jacqueline Wilson and Jeremy Strong.

He was born in 1962 and trained at the St Martin’s School of Art. Inspired by 1960s pop and graphic art, his work is instantly recognisable for its bold images and punchy colours. With lots of moving tabs, flaps to lift and other interactive features, as well as exciting wordplay and cheeky humour, Nick’s books let children discover all the different ways in which books and words can work.

He lives and works in Brighton, in a studio overlooking the sea.
