My name's David Walliams. This tactile and audio book brings to life characters from some of my children's stories, as illustrated by Sir Quentin Blake and Tony Ross.
Twelve year old, Ben stays at his Granny's house every Friday night, whilst his parents have their weekly night out. He thinks she is the world's most boring granny. All she wants to do is play scrabble and eat cabbage soup. What's that smell? Eugh she smells of cabbage!
He wears a pale pink, bridesmaid's dress. Yes you heard me right! He's wearing a dress and it's the most exquisite dress I've ever seen! It glides so beautifully as he runs.
