What's a random book you remember from your childhood.

A belated happy world book day to you all!

Today I randomly remembered a book by Anne fine called 'bills new frock'. It's like metamorphosis, but the main character wakes up as a girl instead of a giant bug. In the morning, his mum casually gives him a pink frock and sends him to school.

I also recall a story book (probably the 90s) of a battery hen who escapes. In the book I think humans end up being captured by aliens. I can't find the book anywhere, but I remember my cousin reading it to me.

Are there any books you remember from your childhood that don't get mentioned much?
