Blob

Product Information

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. It was the first book of David Walliams that I read, but it was so atrocious that I cannot read another of his. 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. 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).

It was a major bonus that it was centered around a zoo too, which of course I loved, but with that setting, Walliams was also able to get the message out of not being cruel to animals (as well as each other), and the power of breaking down bullying was a strong theme.

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. David and Tony have worked on six bestselling picture books together, and nine of David’s phenomenally successful children’s novels. 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! This is such a heart-warming story that revolves around a ten-year-old boy named Bob who lives with his poor grandpa.

Roald Dahl is amazing, legend, one of a kind but David's books are genuinely good, kind, honest and most importantly wise. 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!Bob is a good character who just loves animals and it's the animals that help him to get revenge on said bullies. Willybums knows how to make this 24-year-old kid snort, chuckle and giggle with his take on the zoo and school bullies. Since August 2013, he has written and starred in the BBC One sitcom Big School playing chemistry teacher Keith Church. There are lots of fascinating animals included as well, both familiar and rarely heard of, and the illustrations are lovely.
