Making our way through my youngest sons David Walliams Christmas present books - and he never disappoints does he?

He was surprised when I told him I hadn't really enjoyed the latest from the author, as he'd loved it. And maybe I'm doing the books a disservice, because, yes, his target audience DOES tend to love them. Gertrude loved to copy Eric, so she smiled back, flashing her teeth and those long fangs on each side of her mouth. Die 11-jarige Eric woon by sy ouma nadat hy beide ouers in die oorlog verloor het; sy pa het gesterf toe ‘n torpedo die skip, HMS Grafton, getref het, en sy ma toe ‘n bom haar werksplek verwoes het. The German bombs end up causing Gertrude to escape her cage, which in turns means the owner of the zoo determines to have her put down (yep, it's a bit forced), so the three of them decide the best course of action is to run away.From making friends and breaking out a gorilla to disguising and wandering in enemy territory, to even escape a bomb submarine, The trio are always ready for more chaos. Oom Sid het in die Eerste Wêreldoorlog albei bene verloor en moet nou oor die weg kom met ‘n geroeste paar blikbene wat aardige geluide maak.
