The Boy in the Dress

Loved it

Yes

I loved it definitely recommend

I love this story because it is inspiring and I like the characters in this story. The main character is very brave and funny.

I really liked this book

I thought it was good.

really funny thoughtful and weird

I like that he plays football but isn’t scared to wear a dress too

It’s a great story. I think that what the story is trying to tell you is right, but sadly some people think that it is wrong. If you are a boy you can wear a dress!! If you are a girl you can wear boys clothes!

The story was hilarious for me to read. It was funny when Dennis wore a dress . I liked how he tried his best and won a match.

I like that this is a unique book about a boy who lives in dresses I think this would add more
Colour to the world.

I liked it because it had girls in it and I love when girls are put in books. I also started to like David William's books and I have already read Demon Dentist

It was funny

this book was fiction i really liked this book because it shows that you can wear what ever you like even if you are a boy or a girl

Really funny

Why can’t boys wear dress too? But turns out they can! There is no right or wrong

I really like this book because it shows boys can like girl stuff and liking boy stuff at the same time . The book is also really funny but in some places really sad . I would recommend this book to 5-99

I like that he is a boy but he likes to be different and becomes his own person and wants his mum to come back.

Boy in the dress is a lovely book

My favourite character is the boy because at first he is shy but then he met a friend and were a dress.

This book is great. It was amazing.

It is a bit cringe but there is a kid but he wears lipstick in his blouse

Funny

I would recommend this book to everyone ages from 8-12.It is a David Walliams book It was amazing and I really wanted to keep reading. It took me 2 days to read the whole book.

The boy in the dress is about a boy that gets suspended for pretending to be a girl and gets expelled from his school but what he does not notice is that they need him for the football match and notices that the headmaster actually pretends to be a girl.

It's so cool and it's expressing the boy and his feelings

Really good book

This book is very good but not the best

I loved this book because it tells me about that even though your a boy or a girl you can still do boy an girl stuff.

I think, I *think*, David Walliams was trying to write a book that was kind and inclusive, it’s just that he’s really bad at it.

Dennis wears a dress but only when disguised as a girl, he can’t just wear a dress and be happy about it. Plus it’s fine because he’s awesome at football and fancies a girl. It’s not like he’s gay or anything. He just wants to wear a dress, okay? Spoiler alert: the male headteacher also wears a dress on a Sunday morning to fetch the papers and Dennis uses that fact to bribe the headteacher because if Dennis tells people, the headteacher will be a laughing stock. What? Why? I thought we were being inclusive of males who want to wear dresses? But definitely not LGBTQ+ people or class or racial stereotypes. Just the very specific situation where a young boy, who is awesome at football and very manly, wants to disguise himself as a girl. That’s the only thing that’s fine.

The fat white lorry driver, the south Asian who runs a newsagent and the overbearing south Asian mother are awful perpetuations of stereotypes and the handling of Dennis’ friend Darvesh and his patka made me cringe so much I felt sick. “I just wear this funny thing on my head”. My god! It’s so bad. I really do think he was trying to give out a positive message but that’s not how it was received by me.

Truly awful. But then, he was a writer for Little Britain so I suppose that fits.
