Bill in a China Shop




 

Bill in a China Shop

by Katie Weaver
Bloomsbury USA

Bill the bull, who loves to collect china, finally finds a china shop without a "keep out" sign directed at himself. But he soon finds out that he is not quite as welcome as he had hoped, and in his worry, he breaks nearly everything in the store, much to the slimy shopkeeper's chagrin. But three gray-haired ladies totter in and save the day by paying for the damage and the little cup that Bill so desperately wanted and they all become fast friends. A delightful rhyming picture book illustrated with intricate detail and Victorian charm that celebrates a triumph over prejudice.
