We spotted our beloved Raj twice (once as a graphic on a bus, and once Walliams shoehorns him in, even saying he's done it to place the beloved newsagent in the story). Always a highlight, but certainly not enough to help raise this up from 'meh' rating to the bestselling status it will instantly earn without the merit of Walliams' previous heartfelt and genuinely funny inventions. I love his sense of humour, brilliant narration and his unique way of storytelling including the funny footnotes

The new children's book from No. 1 bestselling author David Walliams - a deliciously daft Tall Story of a child who had everything, but still wanted more. Illustrated by artistic genius, Tony Ross. 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. RATTLE! Books would fly off the shelves. W H O O S H ! BONK! Pictures would fall off the walls. DUNK! SHATTER! Plaster would shower down from the ceiling. C R U M B L E ! DUNK! Poor Mr and Mrs Meek would be hurled out of bed. DOOF! DOOF! They would scramble to their feet, and immediately run around doing their daughter’s bidding. They gave Myrtle everything. But everything was never, ever enough. Oh no. The girl wanted one more “FING”.But as an experienced reader and librarian, it's pretty weak I'm afraid. This is the author's first novel with no hero/heroine. As Myrtle is a World's Worst Child in all but book title, she's actually also a minor character for most of the book. Spoiled by her librarian parents (oh what a terrible example they set for my profession!), she's a stereotype of an indulged brat with no personality anyway - nobody will be dressing up as her next World Book Day. Ham slicer. Even though she hated ham. Ice skates made for an elephant. Four of them. Jar containing one of scientist Albert Einstein’s burps.* Buy from our bookstore and 25% of the cover price will be given to a school of your choice to buy more books. *15% of eBooks. Home >

Zijn er kinderen die (nog) niet graag lezen, dan is David Walliams wat mij betreft de way to go. In de bieb raadde ik Fing (Dinges) graag aan met bijna altijd mooie succes verhalen. Little Britain’, which he co-created with Matt Lucas, started on Radio 4 and soon progressed to BBC1. The show has won numerous international awards including three BAFTAs, and now plays in over 100 countries. ‘Little Britain Live’ performed to a million people in the UK, Ireland and Australia. David and Matt followed ‘Little Britain’ with the hugely popular spoof airport documentary series 'Come Fly With Me'.

Myrtle Meek has everything she could possibly want. But everything isn’t enough. She wants more, more, MORE! When Myrtle declares she wants a FING, there’s only one problem... What is a FING? Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments

Walliams’ fun style of writing and quirky made-up names add to his books charm. David Walliams even have his own dictionary for these bizarre and wonderful words. Stretchable jaws allow the green anaconda snake to swallow its prey whole, no matter the size. It eats wild pigs, deer and even jaguars. Me and my nine year old sister had Greta debates about very important details such as: is the girls name Myrtle pronounced Mir-it-Al (my idea) or mur-tul ( her idea). I think she’s right. I’m too stubborn to admit that though. So this review is not from his perspective - an 8 year old will love this: bum/poo jokes, lots of noises and silly creatures, things being destroyed, lists. It's also half the length of most of Walliams' recent novels, but still with regular Tony Ross sketches, so does speed along. No, it's great for the target market.

Adventure starts with the parents quest to find Fing for their demanding kid and how it leads them on a terrifying and troublesome journey. I love the peaceful and happy ending. The author takes the readers with his amazing creativity to a different level of imagination. As well as being a No.1 best-selling Children’s author, David Walliams is one of Britain's most popular writers and comic actors. My first Walliams book and probably my last too. I’m so not in the age group for this one but I do read most of the books I do get for the library. Ik las dit boek al eerder in de Nederlandse vertaling maar luisterde deze keer audioboek, voorgelezen door David Walliams en een complete cast vergezeld door muziek en soundeffects, en dat was eigenlijk nog leuker. Myrthe is een verwend kind. Een echt monster. Ze behandelt haar ouders als vuil, scheldt ze uit, en eist alleen maar meer en meer. Op een dag weet ze niet meer wat ze nog kan vragen, ze heeft alles al. En dus eist ze een DINGES, en wel zo snel mogelijk. Haar ouders, meneer en Mevrouw Mak, weten niet wat een dinges is. Gelukkig werken ze in de bibliotheek en daar staat het dinges in een boek: de Monsterpedie. Een dinges is het meest destructieve en slechtste huisdier ter wereld. Toch gaat Papa Mak het oerwoud in om een dinges te vangen. Onderweg komt hij allerlei akelige monsters tegen.
