Bill in a China Shop by Katie Macallaster Weaver, illustrated by Tim Raglin

From School Library Journal: An elegantly dressed bull carefully enters a china shop and shows why the phrase upon which the title plays is so apt...A sneering clerk cannot get Bill out fast enough, but when three ladies enter the store, they take pity on the animal and scold the man. They feel sorry for Bill, who is obviously upset, but it's not totally convincing that they would side with him after all of the destruction he has caused. Still, this twist makes for a pleasing ending as the bull gets to host his own tea party, with the women as his guests.
