Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - Son muy entretenidos estos libros, pero hay algo que no termina de convencerme de este autor. Sentía mucha curiosidad por leerlo debido al autor famoso/ancestral/milenario que todos amamos con el que lo comparan, pero aunque noto la similitud entre sus letras, la comparación no me agrada, le queda un poco grande para mi gusto. David has proved himself as a dramatic actor in BBC2's 'Capturing Mary' with Dame Maggie Smith, in BBC1's Agatha Christie series 'Partners In Crime', as Frankie Howerd in the biopic ‘Rather You Than Me’ for BBC4, and on the stage in Harold Pinter’s 'No Man’s Land' starring alongside Sir Michael Gambon. He received the Comedy Award at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards for his performance as Bottom in ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ directed by Michael Grandage. This is a humourously descriptive book which I believe would be of interest to the seven to nine age-group.It has ongoing humourous footnotes which is a concept children need to become aware of for their future educational life. Chapter 12 begins with the question, ‘What is the worst thing that could ever happen to you at school?’ Can you make a list of possible answers? Could you use one of these as the starting point for a story?

Reitero, son libro entretenidos, divertidos, ideales para el publico al que van dirigidos. Pero todos tienen algún que otro detalle demasiado triste o morboso para middle grade. OJO los libros infantiles suelen tener toques macabros o morbosos, pero estos me parecen simplemente de mal gusto.However, this wouldn't be a David Walliams book without a bit of trepidation, an unfortunate incident and a dastardly villain and our poor heroine happens to come across a very nasty individual who has grand plans for Armitage. Zoe then ends up in a very precarious situation where she must rescue her pet rat from a dangerous and hugely gruesome ending at the hands of a very odd man who makes very "special" burgers for a living. A couple of years prior, Zoe's father bought Zoe a hamster as a birthday present, and she named it Gingernut. The hamster dies in suspicious circumstances, and Zoe suspects that Sheila is responsible. Shortly afterward, Zoe finds a rat that has sneaked into her room, and discovers that it is intelligent and can dance to music. Zoe names the rat Armitage (after the name of a plumbing company which she finds on a toilet bowl), but he is seen by her headmaster and her history teacher Miss Midge, who insists that Zoe should be suspended. This is heavily influenced by Dahl, which is no bad thing. As a child I would have adored this and as an adult it kept me smiling throughout.

Watch this video showing the launch of the book. Could you plan a big event to ‘launch’ one of your own stories? I absolutely love David Walliams's books. In a few more years they will become classics. - Sue Townsend, author of Adrian Mole Design a machine that might help you to smuggle an animal into school (see Chapter 7 for lots of ideas). Added to all this, David’s books have achieved unprecedented critical acclaim: Awful Auntie, Ratburger and Demon Dentist won the National Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year and in France David was awarded the popular Tamtam for Mr Stink and the prestigious Le Prix Du Livre De La Jeunesse for Ratburger, so it comes as no surprise that countless broadsheet reviewers have compared David to his all-time hero, Roald Dahl.
