About this deal

Velma is determined to wipe not only Robodog off the planet but every other dog in Bedlam, and suddenly every villain has escaped from Bedlam Prison. Given how much enjoyment I got from the illustrations I can only imagine how much young readers are going to love them. Unlike Walliams's other works, this was presented as a combination of a comic strip and his trademark style. These thugs are captained by the dastardly duo, Mighty Mind, a giant criminal mega-brain living in a fishbowl on wheels, and his henchperson, Hammerhands, a terrifying woman with hammers instead of hands.

Robodog is more on the silly side of the Walliams book scale, but there are plenty of laughs for young readers. The Chief turns to the Professor with an ingenious idea: a single dog that can aid in different police activities; a robot dog “Robodog”. Fun story for kids about a Police Chief and Professor who are married and decide to create a RoboDog to help with the problems in Bedlam. As much as I agree this is wholesome and sweet , it doesn’t have the charm of his initial books , I’ve already noticed a shift in the writing style and the illustrator , but I wanted to complete all of his work , atleast at the time I discovered him and I’m glad it’s all off my tbr.

Another wonderful book from David Walliams, with a great storyline and really interesting and fun characters especially ratty, would love to read more of robodog and ratty's adventures, accompanied by gorgeous illustrations.I have a few ideas on why this book didn’t work for me but it genuinely surprised me that I didn’t love this book. David Walliams is a very popular children's author in the UK but I've been avoiding his much-lauded books because a) I've never found his brand of humour particularly funny, and b) I read his picture book The Slightly Annoying Elephant to my kids and none of us rated it. Bedlam, once a home to ordinary people, is now a city infested with rats and is as dangerous as it is filthy. Their fight against despicable characters like the Masked Honker who farts deadly fire, Dr Stench who has bad breath as a weapon, the Ice Queen who can turn you to ice with the touch of a single finger, and the two-headed ogre whose heads are constantly in disagreement, will take them from the underground sewers to outer space, and all the way back.
