All the characters and animals in this story were great Arons favourite was blob my favourite was Mr Basil Basildon. I love books with animals anyway (I prefer the company of animals to people) and so it was nice to see some of the more unuusual, not oft-mentioned animals on display here (or at least I haven't read many books that actually mention such things as aye-ayes and pangolins and snapping turtles among others. 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.

I have just finished reading Blob to my six year old and have given it 5 stars as he scored it 5 and a half! 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. 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. 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!By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions.

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. 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.I love that the glossary informs you of the facts about the animals in the book, because he did make them do some rather preposterous things in the story! It was the first book of David Walliams that I read, but it was so atrocious that I cannot read another of his.
