Robodog will nevertheless need all the assistance available to overpower the conniving cats determined to destroy him; Pavarotti, a cat so large that he flattens his enemies by sitting on them; Slash, the terrifying feline street fighter who is rumoured to have killed a pack of wolves; the wise old Codger and the evillest cat in the world, Velma. Filled with all the wacky and wonderful characters in David Walliams' books, you can download any of these free activity sheets for hours of fun and learning at home! I have a few ideas on why this book didn’t work for me but it genuinely surprised me that I didn’t love this book. David’s books have also been made into theatre productions including Mr Stink, Gangsta Granny, Ratburger and The First Hippo on the Moon. Robodog is the hilarious new action-packed comic caper from David Walliams - due for release in March 2023.The Police Chief is stressed out as she can’t seem to get ahead of it, and the entire city is now suffering. I loved that Plank was so silly, I think if Plank could get a medal for anything it would be for being silly.
I loved seeing elements of the story highlighted by the illustrations, especially the wacky characters. Given how much enjoyment I got from the illustrations I can only imagine how much young readers are going to love them. Fun story for kids about a Police Chief and Professor who are married and decide to create a RoboDog to help with the problems in Bedlam.
Unlike Dave Pilkey’s somewhat stupid Dog Man, Robodog is not only brave, strong intelligent, and capable of heroic deeds, he is also a very likeable character who cries tears of oil when sad and whose biggest dream is to be a real dog, loved by his human parents. I thought Mighty Mind, Hammerhands, The Chocolatier, The Headmistress and The Politician were all great baddies. The Chief relies on the city Police Dog Training school to produce excellent crime-fighters to help her and her police force control the city’s baddies, but even this isn’t working any more. But, with less hope as this year's batch of dogs failed the passing out parade, she is looking for the right superhero before things take a turn for the worse.
Adam Stower is an author and illustrator, who has collaborated with David Walliams on several of his books for children. These baddies include Velma, the chief and professor's cat; mighty mind, the master mind who is just a mega-brain floating in a fish bowl and is behind the notorious robberies in the city of Bedlam; and Hammerheads, mighty mind's henchperson who lost her hands and uses a hammer on each side as a replacement for her hands.

The characters are flat and talk a lot but nothing happens, apart from things getting damaged and making sounds.
