Blob

Product Information

There are lots of fascinating animals included as well, both familiar and rarely heard of, and the illustrations are lovely.

Blob' is short and sweet and has the same sort of charm that Dahl's children books have, with well carved and ridiculous characters. They included trying to normalise people's differences, promoting that we all look different and that's a marvelous thing!

It isn't a book, a story, it's a short story, it seems like people are making movies out of David's books just because he is famous, not for any(or lack of) plot.

And so begins a funny and heartwarming story of a very unusual friendship - and some very strange animals. I did an internship in a school in England (before Corona sent me back to Germany) and all the kids were reading David Walliams.

The twist is that it's presented from not only a little boy's perspective but also those of some animals SOME people might consider "ugly. David and Tony have worked on six bestselling picture books together, and nine of David’s phenomenally successful children’s novels. If you make fun of yourself to make others laugh more with you, rather than at you, are you still not making people laugh at your expense? Since the publication of his ground-breaking first novel, The Boy in the Dress (2008), Walliams has seen unprecedented growth with global sales exceeding 32 million copies, and his books translated into 53 languages. This book was written for World Book Day 2017 and is by one of my favourite authors - David Walliams.The story is centered around a zoo and the author is able to transmit the message of not being cruel to animals (as well as to each other). Willybums knows how to make this 24-year-old kid snort, chuckle and giggle with his take on the zoo and school bullies. Bob found out some animals at the zoo are unique and not alike and they have no one to visit them but others bully them too so bob made these animals be proud of who they are by accepting what they have. It’s a very similar writing style to Roald Dahl and the way it uses fonts and sizes is like Lauren Child.

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! except maybe the introduction--Mr Willybum :P Mostly it's just making you smile or chuck instead of laugh out loud. 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. 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.
