The only bright spot on the horizon is the Year Six school trip, which Malcolm never thought his parents would pay for. And yet there he is, on the bus, heading to… oh no. A farm.As a whole, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and can see it easily being a popular choice for children and could even provide some interesting discussion points. For further reading I would suggest the award winning: The Parent Agency by David Baddiel. Many thanks to the publishers for sending a review copy to The Bookbag. Malcolm is about to go a school trip (something he should be quite happy about as his parents really scraped together the money, but I can imagine that no boy is all too happy to have to spend days on a farm with stinky goat cheese), and on that trip he is going to discover that being an animal is more than it seems.

AniMalcom review – faithful adaptation of David Baddiel’s

Executive Publisher, Ann-Janine Murtagh. “David Baddiel has taken the children's book world by storm! He combines his incredible literary talent with audacious and original storytelling for kids which together with his high octane humour have made his books a massive hit with his growing band of young Baddiel fans. His latest novel is a testament to that - a hugely imaginative adventure with a Home Alone meets Animal Farm twist! We are truly delighted to have signed David for three more books which sets us up for brilliant publishing in the years ahead and is destined to make David Baddiel a major children's author brand in the future.” Felt maybe the book was a little long as the middle got a little repetitive, but it soon pepped up the humour and good story. The book is also heavily illustrated and I just adored each and every illustration. They made the book really pop and made some of the scenes even more hilarious. Malcolm doesn't like animals. Which is a problem because his family love them. Their house is full of pets. What the house is NOT full of is stuff Malcolm likes. Such as the laptop he wanted for his birthday. The only bright spot on the horizon is the Year Six school trip, which Malcolm never thought his parents would pay for. And yet there he is, on the bus, heading to...oh no. A farm.

Because sometimes the hardest thing to become is...yourself. About This Edition ISBN:We started out taking it in turns to read this book aloud to one another and while my son instantly loved it, I was a little unsure. There are a number of footnotes which include funny anecdotes or explanations, and it makes for somewhat stilted reading. We then decided we would read the book quietly to ourselves instead to see if that was better in and it was. From David Baddiel, the brightest new star of children’s books and winner of the LOLLIES award, comes a laugh-out-loud adventure for every child who ever wondered what it might be like to be a bit of an animal... Summary: There is only way to truly understand animals – to become one. Wild and brilliantly funny, this will have children laughing out loud and pondering the merits of being an animal. Great fun and easy to read.

He has written four novels: Time for Bed, Whatever Love Means, The Secret Purposes and The Death of Eli Gold.Say hello to Malcolm, he is our MC, and he doesn't like animals. He has his reasons, and I was nodding along, I could totally understand he may not be all that happy with animals. I understood his point that animals seemingly do nothing all day, just laze around, or do some weird animal thing. Of course, I am an animal fan myself, but I could still understand Malcolm's reasoning. Which is a problem because his family love them. Their house is full of pets.
