Blob

Product Information

By the end of 2014, Walliams had sold over 4 million books and is described as "the fastest growing children's author in the UK. He is an English comedian, actor, author, television presenter and activist, best known for his partnership with Matt Lucas on the BBC One sketch shows Little Britain, Rock Profile and Come Fly with Me.

He gets bullied by the Stubbs and most of his classmates make fun of him because he has a big nose - he looks different than the others. And so begins a funny and heartwarming story of a very unusual friendship - and some very strange animals. I can't say I'm as keen as they were but then I'm not the target audience and just comparing it to other children's stories that I've read them. David and Tony have worked on six bestselling picture books together, and nine of David’s phenomenally successful children’s novels.

Walliams succeeds at promoting self-love among blobfish who is considered to be the ugliest (according to The WHOPPING Book of Fish), terrifying komodo dragon, incredibly slow sloth, proboscis monkey with his outrageous hooter, spiky-backed echidna, pig-nosed frog, umbrellabird with his long dangly wattle that looks like a folded-up umbrella, star-nosed mole who looks like he has worms on the end of his face, hamadryas baboon with her matching red face and bottom, hooded seal who can blow his nose like a ballon and many more through Bob — it's a marvelous thing! The zookeeper and Winston helps bob by pulling a prank/revenge scheme on the bullies who bully Bob which makes them leave him alone.

And so begins a funny and heartwarming story of a very unusual friendship – and some very strange animals. I think one of the best things in the world is listening to your child trying to read something but there in fits of giggles. His debut children's novel, The Boy in the Dress, was published in 2008 to unanimous critical acclaim and he has since developed a reputation as a natural successor to Roald Dahl. All in all, this was such great fun and I'm very much looking forward to reading more of David Walliams' books.David and Tony also collaborated on the 2017 World Book Day title, BLOB, and on the blockbuster collections, The World’s Worst Children 1, 2 and 3. This book was written for World Book Day 2017 and is by one of my favourite authors - David Walliams. Stink, Rattourger, Demon Dentist, The World's Worst Children, The World's Worst Children 2, The World's Worst Children 3, Awful Auntie, and Bad Dad. A blob fish - maybe it has a tad bit of a good message, about how you look not mattering- but it is awful.

I did an internship in a school in England (before Corona sent me back to Germany) and all the kids were reading David Walliams. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. This is such a heart-warming story that revolves around a ten-year-old boy named Bob who lives with his poor grandpa. It was the first book of David Walliams that I read, but it was so atrocious that I cannot read another of his.Willybums knows how to make this 24-year-old kid snort, chuckle and giggle with his take on the zoo and school bullies.
