The World’s Worst Children 1: A book by David Walliams : Walliams, David, Ross, Tony: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Absolutely Hilarious!! - This is such a funny book! While I would say that, yes, this is a children's book of a reading age from 7-10, yet I am 59 years of age with no children to read it to and, with a child-like sense of humour and mischief, found it downright hilarious! My favourites being Peter the Picker and Windy Mindy! Thank you, David Walliams!!!! 😁😁😂😂😂

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING, WONDERFUL & HILARIOUS!!!!
*by F***E on 17 June 2016*

Being a massive fan of Walliams’ written work, and having all his books and audiobooks to date, I could not wait to get my hands on this upon its release – but my partner amazingly beat me to it by giving it to me as a surprise gift! At first, I felt a little disappointed, as I’m not a lover of short stories of any kind, and was rather hoping it was another full length novel. Having said that though, I was puzzled at the release being so soon after his last, as Mr. Walliams tends to release new novels yearly, and it is only six months or so since the last release. (but then I’m somewhat greedy and impatient for his work) However, I should not have worried, as just like the rest of his great work, this was hilarious too! If I had to choose several of the best stories from this volume, these are the most entertaining kids for me; BERTHA THE BLUBBERER (can’t help laughing now - just visualising her as bald as a coot!) NIGEL NIT-BOY PETULA PERPETUAL-MOTION BRIAN WONG WINDY MINDY SOFIA SOFA It needs to be said; several of these are even funnier on the CDs!!) My joint favourites of all had to be ‘Petula Perpetual-Motion’, and ‘Bertha The Blubberer’, as I just could not stop laughing at these ones; the latter being even funnier when heard on the audiobook, as David Walliams is a master at doing the voices, and making them sound even more hilarious! There’s a hint at the end of the book that there may be a second volume in store, but whether this will come before or after his next full novel we shall have to wait and see. In the meantime; the only one story I did not like that much here in this first, (though again, it was much funnier on CD) was ‘Peter Picker’. (for obvious reasons) Just a little too graphic for me – but I suspect due to its revolting subject matter will be loved by most kids... Those out there that have not yet given Walliams a chance, should really try his books; they are a real up-lifting tonic! I collect all his hardbacks, paperbacks, special editions, audiobooks and DVD movies of the books – never done it with any other writer before! Whatever his other talents or short-comings, the man is a genius when it comes to writing! I’m somewhat irritated when he’s constantly compared to Roald Dahl - not like others; because they think Dahl is better, but because to me, Walliams is unique – and there will never be anybody quite like him... He is able to mix old-fashioned styles and values somehow in his characters, and merge them with up-to-date modern times and culture. I would not have thought this possible to work so successfully, had I not discovered it for myself in all of his books! There's always something anyone and everyone can relate to – and at any age. It would be a crime to say his books are for kids only. Long may he reign supreme!
