Billy’s Bucket by Kes Gray and Gary Parsons

When young Billy asks his parents for a bucket for his birthday they agree to this strange request and set about buying him one. What from the outside appears to be a plain old plastic bucket in fact belies its true contents. As Billy peers inside, he finds a kaleidoscope of marine life living within but his sceptical parents refuse to believe him. Can he convince them that his bucket contains such watery treasures? Or will they have to learn the truth the hard way? A unique, cleverly written tale with a witty ending.
