First children's book I have read was Matilda by Roald Dahl and I absolutely loved it. From then on my love for children books has grown. This is my first read of David Walliams so I had more expectations and I wasn't disappointed. I'm teaching English to a very bright 10 year old who loves Mr W's work, as do I. I'm looking forward to uses this with her. Thank you for sharing.From No. 1 bestselling children's author David Walliams comes his biggest and most epic adventure!

One thing that annoys me about David Walliams's books is how everybody harps on about him being the new Roald Dahl. His books have been mediocre so far, nowhere near the storytelling of Roald Dahl. But...The Ice Monster is Dull as a bag of door knobs. I was amazed on how great a young orphan could be. I loved this story so much that it deserves.... 5 stars! and we’re in Victorian London. Meet the characters in the story… Elsie is a homeless orphan, who lives on the streets of London.”

When Elsie, an orphan on the streets of Victorian London, hears about the mysterious Ice Monster - a woolly mammoth found at the North Pole - she's determined to discover more...Táto knižka je o dievčatku z viktoriánskeho Londýna, ktoré žije na ulici a o tom ako sa stretne s mamutom. Hneď prvá kapitola je takým živým opisom toho ako sa vtedy žilo pouličným deťom, že mi stískalo srdce - ale David Walliams pomedzi skutočný smútok prekorčuľuje pomocou kadejakých telesných pachov, vďaka čomu tie jeho príbehy naberajú ľahkosť príbehov Roalda Dahla. Dospelí sú všiváci, presne ako u Dahla (až na svetlé výnimky), ale zato zvieratá vedia ponúknuť puto, ktoré sa inak hľadá iba ťažko. Presne ako u Dahla. Suddenly Dotty jumped up and down, looking as if she desperately needed a wee, but in actual fact she was just overexcited.” In this keenly awaited novel, Victorian London plays host to a perfectly frozen 10,000 year old woolly mammoth. How Elsie and the mammoth become embroiled in peril on the high seas (as well as the River Thames) makes for a gleefully daft read and a great gift for the kids in your life.
