Ill. by Quentin Blake and Tony Ross. HarperCollins, 2018. ISBN
9780008293253
(Age: 7+) Highly recommended. Themes: Humour, Puzzles. Designed
especially for children who can't get enough of David Walliams weird
and hilarious humour and illustrated by two outstanding
illustrators, "The world of David Walliams Book of stuff" will bring
hours of fun and laughter into the lives of those who read it. Even
people who aren't familiar with Walliam's books will be delighted
with the fun in the book and are sure to want to pick up one of his
stories or watch a film based on his books.
There are also puzzles to solve, like finding the 14 differences in
the two pictures of Walliams' writing shed or designing a Walliams
book cover. Readers will meet Raj in a new adventure and find out
about the author's interest in swimming and his acting in
"Billionaire Boy", "Ratburger" and "Grandma's great escape".
The illustrations by Blake and Ross enhance the book and will have
readers laughing out loud as they read "Leonard Spud's guide to
loo-modelling" or "Mummy's tooth care range" as well as many other
very funny articles and cartoons.
This is a must for all Walliams' fans and is sure to keep the whole
family chortling during the holidays with its funny jokes and
slightly rude content.
