2017David Walliams

4.7/5

This was my first David Walliams book and I can totally see a similarity to Roahl Dahl. This was such a cute story and I loved the messages in this. They included trying to normalise people's differences, promoting that we all look different and that's a marvelous thing! It was a major bonus that it was centered around a zoo too, which of course I loved, but with that setting, Walliams was also able to get the message out of not being cruel to animals (as well as each other), and the power of breaking down bullying was a strong theme. 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!I did have queries about the way in which bullying was stopped.... 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? Also, I feel like the revenge aspect may have a negative influence on kids. All in all, this was such great fun and I'm very much looking forward to reading more of David Walliams' books.Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy! >(^_^)<Gén
