Não costumo ler livros infantis, mas tinha curiosidade em ler algo do autor - já conheço o seu trabalho noutros registos e queria ver como era a sua escrita. godine, u viktorijansko doba, a isprepletena je zanimljivim likovima, od kraljice Viktorije do Dugoprstih bandita. Here one lost woolly mammoth and an intrepid Victorian orphan are about to venture on the expedition of a lifetime. Not only the child finished the book in one go (on a long drive), but also later the book kept me hooked as the story is interesting, hilarious and set in a period setting of Victorian time.

Elsie and The Ice Monster can thaw the coldest of hearts – a true masterpiece from the mind of one of the best story tellers of a generation. We also liked that some scenes that are set in darkness or nights are written on darker pages bringing it a different feel.

I think a hardback version of a long story like this is a great idea for he kids as it makes it more durable when you are reading it over such a long period of time. Allen voran natürlich Elsie, die mir auf Anhieb sehr sympathisch war und die ganz besonders liebenswert ist.

Ich bin ein begeisterter Leser englischer Kinderliteratur und Roald Dahl gehört hierbei zu meinen Lieblingsautoren. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself. From the phenomenal number-one bestseller David Walliams comes another collection of more hilariously horrible children!

This story was about a little girl trying to save an extinct animal from the North Pole and sets out on a boat to find her furry friend a home. I liked the silly humour (lots of bottoms and bottom burps) which will appeal to its intended reading age, especially boys, who will love this high energy escapade. The fig tree is there, too, when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, when the teenagers vanish.

David Walliams má schopnosť hlboko do textu zakódovať veľké témy a dokonca aj morálne poučenia, napriek tomu, že na povrchu sa to hemží grganím, smradľavými ponožkami, červíkmi a ľuďmi ako je vedúca sirotinca pani Skysňa alebo šéf bezpečnosti Národného múzea pán Facka. There she is given the chance to undo her regrets and try out each of the other lives she might have lived. In a career spanning over 40 years he has provided pictures for David Walliams and Francesca Simon’s Horrid Henry series amongst many, many others. From the world's favourite author, David Walliams - ten cautionary tales and a delightfully dreadful cast of characters.We have read a few other David Walliams books (the World’s Worst Series) but these had been split into mini stories and we hadn’t had such a long book where he really needed to retain information about such a lot of text. The Ice Monster written by David Walliams, the popular TV personality, judge, swimmer brings on an interesting take on simple narratives set in a particular time frame. Dizer também que este livro tem ilustrações lindas, que são um complemento fantástico à idealização da história.
