Seeing Delia without her sunglasses on is a BIG shock for Tom, but that's nothing compared with the surprise that Dad has in store with his new-found fitness regime! He says he's going to compete at the school Sports Day. Can you even imagine the horrendous shame that will bring? Meanwhile Tom, Derek and Norman are also busy with a training regime of their own - practising with Dogzombies to make sure they're ready for the school talent show. The highs and lows of Tom's life are funnier and more extreme than ever in this fourth wicked diary from the Roald Dahl Funny Prize winning series!
What a superb book. Ideal for reluctant readers, these books should encourage any child to read. They are written with text and images which makes the books so much more fun. Some pages only have a small amount of text on them, so they don't become overwhelming.
My daughter had this book given her by her cousin, she put it on the book shelf and forgot about it. Until we were looking for something for her to read on evening. Once she got herself past the thickness of the book and started to read it, she loved it. Ellie is currently 8 years old, and this is the first book (other than her school books) that she has read from cover to cover on her own. She's been reading some each night, and it's taken her just under 2 weeks to read it. What I really loved was when we went shopping she asked if she could have a treat and get another one of these books. I was thrilled that she wanted to read more of them. Any books that can get a child's attention and keep it, gets a thumbs up from me. Ellie's words on the book. Mum it was awesome, it was so funny.
