Sally Rippin, “Billie B Brown Collection 2” also known as “Billie B Brown: The Big Book of Billie. Vol.2” (Prahran, Victoria, Aust: Hardie Grant Egmont, 2015).
ISBN 9781760122263 / 1760122262
10 stories:
“The Little Lie”:
“'A lie is a lie,' says Jack.”
“Billie B Brown is lots of things. …
But most of all, Billie B Brown is brave. She knows what she has to do. She takes a big breath and walks into class.”
“The Best Project”:
“Billie's dad tucks her in. He reads her a book about a little girl who lives in Paris. Billie's dad tells Billie that Paris is a big city in France.
The little girl in the book walks her dog through a park full of statues and sculptures. Billie loves this book. The pictures of Paris are very beautiful.”
“'Thank you, Miss Swan,' she says. 'I got the idea from a book about Paris. In Paris there are sculptures everywhere!'”
“The Spotty Holiday”:
Getting chicken-pox on her holiday at Grandma's seems like a disaster. However Grandma creatively turns this into a holiday to remember.
“But Billie and Grandma look at each other and giggle.”
“The Cutest Pet Ever”:
“She knows exactly what she needs. A pony!”
“Can you guess what it is? It's a guinea pig! And it's the cutest guinea pig Billie has ever seen.”
“The Pocket Money Blues”:
“Billie finds what she wants and pays for it. She keeps the box on her lap all the way home.
She can't wait to see Jack's face when she shows him!”
“The Copycat Kid”:
“'Hi Billie,' says Ms Walton. 'Mike will be happy to see you. In fact, it looks like you have a fan!'”
“The Deep End”:
“Billie is more like an octopus than a shark. Arms and legs everywhere!”
“Right now she feels more like a wobbly jellyfish.”
“The Night Fright”:
“'My favourite movie is Finding Nemo.'”
“The Missing Tooth”:
“'Maybe I can write the Tooth Fairy a note?' (says Billie).”
“The Bully Buster”:
Another excellent story, this time about encountering bullies.
“'But I still have friends,' says Billie. 'If you mess up, you just have to say sorry.'”
“Just then, Billie has an idea. A super-dooper idea.”
