Product Information

Mother, father, grandfather, big sister and little brother dance around the bed singing Happy Birthday. Malcolm anticipates the present of his dreams, “a FZY Apache 321, hi-def screen, 4.0 GHz processor speed laptop with quad speakers and Nahimic virtual surround sound”. What he gets is a chinchilla. Malcolm isn’t happy (“I don’t love him”). Traumatised by “the monkey moment” at the zoo when he was six (it involved poo), he just doesn’t get his family’s mad love for animals (as he sings in a number rhyming “very thorough” with “David Attenborough”). A school trip to Orwell Farm, an encounter with a Himalayan goat called K-Pax and... Enough! No spoilers! Not everyone has read the award-winning 2017 David Baddiel novel on which this cheery new musical (score by David Perkins) is based. 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. Hannah and the gorilla see the primates at the zoo. Can you find out about primates? What different types of primate are there? How are they similar / different? We cover cultural events, family days out, and eating out in Newcastle, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, Durham, Teesside, as well as travel, short-breaks and holidays further afield.

Can you make a list of similarities / differences between them all? 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.

Chapter five ends with a cliffhanger because Malcolm doesn’t know where his school trip will take him. Can you find cliffhangers in other stories? Can you use these as ideas for cliffhangers in your own stories? I enjoyed this book because Malcom is a good character. He really doesn't like animals and goes on a school trip to a farm! 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. Look at the use of speech within the text. Could you rewrite the story as a play? Could you perform the play to others? Malcolm doesn't like animals but his family loves them. When he changes into different animals, he gets to know how the feel and do. After that situation he loves animals, supports his family and his pets.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... I love this book it’d amazing. I especially love when he is different animals. I like all the characters . I would recommend it especially for people who like or love animals This book was so cool and sometimes It's so intimidating I end up reading 5 chapters or 7 chapters and its just soooooooo cool! 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.
