Ratburger

Product Information

I am sure that reluctant readers will find themselves engrossed in this story and for teachers, it makes a great platform for discussions on characters, settings, plots and predictions. I imagine this book will be perfect for helping to foster a love of reading in 9 years olds and in fact Year 4, 5 and 6 children. The "terrifying" aspect would be the talk of murder and death, and the scary, horrible Burt who kills rats and turns them in to burgers. As well as his Children’s fiction, David has also published four number one bestselling picture books, his latest, The Bear Who went Boo! They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.

Zoe then ends up in a very precarious situation where she must rescue her pet rat from a dangerous and hugely gruesome ending at the hands of a very odd man who makes very "special" burgers for a living.She also has the misfortune of living with her lazy, malevolent stepmother, whilst her broken hearted dad spends most of his time at the pub, on the 37th floor of a leaning tower block. 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. The show has won numerous international awards including three BAFTAs, and now plays in over 100 countries. This is a humourously descriptive book which I believe would be of interest to the seven to nine age-group.

Little Britain’, which he co-created with Matt Lucas, started on Radio 4 and soon progressed to BBC1.

Zoe's father has retreated into himself immensely since her mother died and soon after, he lost his dream job in the ice cream factory. Some of my favourites include the dastardly Burt, the tattoo covered, prawn cocktail crisp munching stepmother and the tiny but ferocious school teacher Miss Midge. This book is childish even for a kiddie book, with constant gooey references about poo, piss, snot, bogies etc. If you’re looking for some exciting activities to keep boredom at bay, then you’ve definitely come to the right place!This is a line up where each book is special and individual in its own right, each one has a host of glorious characters of heroes to adore and villains to despise, and Ratburger is another wonderful treat easily comparable to all the others.

The references to Lady Gaga, Piers Morgan and a ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ obsession with finding fame make this classic tale of good triumphing over bad and the underdog winning in the end, both modern and relevant. Added to all this, David’s books have achieved unprecedented critical acclaim: Awful Auntie, Ratburger and Demon Dentist won the National Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year and in France David was awarded the popular Tamtam for Mr Stink and the prestigious Le Prix Du Livre De La Jeunesse for Ratburger, so it comes as no surprise that countless broadsheet reviewers have compared David to his all-time hero, Roald Dahl.This book would be good for independent readers or as a teaching-tool for examining themes such as loneliness, isolation or issues such as bullying. This is my first book by Walliams, whom I am a huge fan of in regards to his comedy, but it definitely won't be my last.
