This book was written for World Book Day 2017 and is by one of my favourite authors - David Walliams. They included trying to normalise people's differences, promoting that we all look different and that's a marvelous thing! 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. If you make fun of yourself to make others laugh more with you, rather than at you, are you still not making people laugh at your expense? 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.

As I paid a fair bit more than that, it was disappointing to see the cover has a massive crease down the middle of it and the condition is not as good as I would have expected. 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. David and Tony also collaborated on the 2017 World Book Day title, BLOB, and on the blockbuster collections, The World’s Worst Children 1, 2 and 3. Roald Dahl is amazing, legend, one of a kind but David's books are genuinely good, kind, honest and most importantly wise. I was there on World Book Day and at least 50% came as some character form The Midnight Gang (which is so clever because you get to go to school on your pyjamas), so I felt like I needed to read something from him to understand the YOUTH.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. This is such a heart-warming story that revolves around a ten-year-old boy named Bob who lives with his poor grandpa. 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!

Since August 2013, he has written and starred in the BBC One sitcom Big School playing chemistry teacher Keith Church. Bob is a good character who just loves animals and it's the animals that help him to get revenge on said bullies. 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. 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.And so begins a funny and heartwarming story of a very unusual friendship – and some very strange animals.

It’s a very similar writing style to Roald Dahl and the way it uses fonts and sizes is like Lauren Child.

It was the first book of David Walliams that I read, but it was so atrocious that I cannot read another of his. 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). Blob' is short and sweet and has the same sort of charm that Dahl's children books have, with well carved and ridiculous characters.

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!
