And yet it’s hard to read this story where the boy is naughty. His naughtiness means he’s not there to tell Grandma to go to the bomb shelter so she dies. I hoped that Grandma just forgot her trumpet and would turn up at the end, but Walliams fridges her “because plot”.

With the help of hisUncle Sid and a friendlykeeper at the zoo, the three go on the run to save their amazing Gorilla friend! Until... oh no! The ganguncover a top-secret Nazi plot... Alhoewel humor ‘n kardinale rol in al Walliams se werk speel, sypel daar tog deernis en empatie deur wanneer hy Eric se gevoelens aangaande die verlies van sy ouers beskryf: ‘Dit het gevoel asof hy in ‘n droom is, of eerder ‘n nagmerrie, waarin hy onder water vasgekeer is en niemand hom sou hoor as hy gil nie.’ (64) Verskeie tegnieke om trae lesers te prikkel, word aangewend: nagtonele is wit op swart in plaas van swart op wit gedruk; geluide word in groter lettertipes aangedui en skep bykans die indruk van ‘n klankbaan wanneer woorde soos pah, woesjjj, hôôôh, grrr, krrr, doink, klonk, auuu, whuhh, ratataa en oef gelees word; die skrywer spreek die leser direk aan deur middel van voetnotas, en die illustrasies deur Tony Ross is so gedetailleerd en gepas dat dit bykans die effek van ‘n grafiese roman skep.There are three types of gorilla – the eastern lowland, western lowland and mountain gorilla.

Given Walliams’s history of Pander[ing] to Prejudice, it’s not surprising that Code Name Bananas uses disability as a vehicle for laughs and plot points. Deafness as comedy I have said it many times before an I will say it again; Tony Ross is fantastic! The combination of Tony Ross’ fabulous illustrations and David Walliams’ wonderful story makes for the perfect Middle Grade book. Code Name Bananas will appeal to a lot of children. However, due to its representation of disability, I cannot recommend it. Making our way through my youngest sons David Walliams Christmas present books - and he never disappoints does he?!

Het is op gevoel handelen als bibliothecaresse want zijn boeken voelen vaak hit & miss aan. Dat betekent niet dat de miss echt mis is. Het betekent dat zijn stijlen en onderwerpen per boek kunnen wisselen. Zo vond ik Oma Boef prachtig maar gruwelde van de Tandarts (Die kon ik echt niet uitlezen eeks!). Knap. Maar een ouder klaagde dat Oma Boef te ver ging omdat het criminaliteit zou bejubellen. Tsja... Net als dat sommige werken nogal grof taalgebruik bevatten. Londen, 1940. Brittanje is in oorlog met Nazi-Duitsland gewikkel. 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. Ouma is streng en effe doof en maak gebruik van ‘n gehoortrompet, maar Eric, ‘n kort seuntjie met bakore en ‘n gekraakte bril, is nietemin baie lief vir haar. Sy gunsteling plek is egter die dieretuin waar sy grootoom, Sid, die opsigter is. 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. Hy en Eric deel ‘n groot liefde vir diere, veral vir Gertrude, die gorilla. Wanneer haar lewe in gevaar is, huiwer hulle dus vir geen oomblik om haar te probeer red nie. Hulle avonture met Gertrude van Londen tot by ‘n verlate kusdorpie, agtervolg deur polisie en gekonfronteer deur Nazi-spioene, al die pad tot by Downingstraat 10, word op ‘n skreeusnaakse wyse in hierdie heerlike dik boek (amper 500 bladsye) vir lesers van ses jaar en ouer vertel.

Een favoriete auteur in de schappen in de bieb, want zijn stijl doet vaak denken aan Roald Dahl. Hij weet karakters als typetjes neer te zetten die voor de kinderen zeer herkenbaar zijn en zich zo in de beleveniswereld van de kinderen te begeven. Knap, en fijn.
