It’s a very similar writing style to Roald Dahl and the way it uses fonts and sizes is like Lauren Child. 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! 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. The zookeeper and Winston helps bob by pulling a prank/revenge scheme on the bullies who bully Bob which makes them leave him alone.

Roald Dahl is amazing, legend, one of a kind but David's books are genuinely good, kind, honest and most importantly wise.A blob fish - maybe it has a tad bit of a good message, about how you look not mattering- but it is awful. 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 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. Willybums knows how to make this 24-year-old kid snort, chuckle and giggle with his take on the zoo and school bullies.

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. And so begins a funny and heartwarming story of a very unusual friendship – and some very strange animals. 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 have worked on six bestselling picture books together, and nine of David’s phenomenally successful children’s novels. This book was written for World Book Day 2017 and is by one of my favourite authors - David Walliams.

Bob is now happy as he has many friends including the unique animals and zoo keeper owner and zoo keeper worker as his friends and a lifetime of free zoo tickets for him to use. 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. 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.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. They included trying to normalise people's differences, promoting that we all look different and that's a marvelous thing! 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).
