I enjoyed this book because I like David Williams books. In the book it shows that boys can wear girls clothes and girls can wear boys clothes.

Dennis walked through the playground in a yellow sparkling dress with heels he could not walk in. It was so funny and embarrassing at the same time.

This book was a fiction book. I really enjoyed this book, it’s very funny. I liked it when Dennis went to school dressed as a girl.

I liked this book but not as much as the other books that I have read during the summer reading challenge. My favourite character is Dennis because he shows that it's OK to be different.

I like Denise's passion for football and that in the end th boys in the second half of a mach all came out wearing dresses.I think that David Walliams is a good author because he has lots of ideas and I have almost all of his books.

I loved this book because Dennis and his football team got the finals of a football game. I did think it was sad when Dennis got expelled from school for wearing girls dresses and not wearing the correct uniform.
I would definitely recommend this book!

The book reflects the life and personality of a boy Dennis, who has a funny character and likes wearing female dresses. I recommend this book as it is fun to read.

A boy has a teenage brother and dad but no mum as she left. He went to school and made a friend called Darvesh and not liked to play football and so they joined a football club. He then met a girl and went to her house and was reading girls magazines and soon after they became best friends.
She then started dressing him up in girls clothes. One day he went to school in girls clothes and no one knew it was him until his wig blew off. He then got expelled for 1 week for pretending to be someone else.
During the big football game he decided to go in a pink dress and to his surprise so did the other boys.
I would recommend the book.
