About this deal

The only two things I didn't like, and they were things I also didn't particularly liked in his other books were the fact that the adults were just idiots or just should be shaken a bit harder to get some sense in them. The teacher? He never noticed that Malcolm was missing. The parents? How horrible that they would laugh over that event when they know Malcolm is around. Plus the fact they totally didn't give a poop about his feelings on animals and that they should just have gone for another present. Basing all the presents on that one thing? Also not right. I feel that they should learn a bit more respect. Malcolm's family are NUTS about animals. Malcolm.... isn't. So when he gets the worst birthday presents ever (have a guess) and then ends up on a school trip to a FARM, he never thought it could get worse. But then he wakes up as an animal himself!!! Argh! The animals on the farm all speak different languages (‘malanguages). Can you speak any other languages?

AniMalcom review – faithful adaptation of David Baddiel’s

I enjoyed reading this book cause as I read it felt like I was actually in the book. My favourite character/animal was Malcolm when he was an ape. I would recommend this to a 7 year old. Chapter five ends with a cliffhanger because Malcolm doesn’t know where his school trip will take him. Can you find cliffhangers in other stories? Can you use these as ideas for cliffhangers in your own stories? Like a lot of parents I am always on the look out for new books that will ignite a love of reading in my children. My son used to be an avid reader and we have read most of the Road Dahl books together as well as some other great series’, such as Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey. However, since the number of books he has to read for school has increased he has stopped wanting to read purely for fun. Malcolm lives with his family, who are animal daft, in a house full of pets. The problem is he doesn’t like animals.A light and amusing read, Baddiel gives us an imaginative look at how cats climb and tortoises talk to each other - how Malcolm communicates cross-species is also cleverly done. The only bright spot on the horizon is the Year Six school trip, which Malcolm never thought his parents would pay for. And yet there he is, on the bus, heading to... oh no. A farm. Which is a problem because his family love them. Their house is full of pets. What the house is NOT full of is stuff Malcolm likes. Such as the laptop he wanted for his birthday.

Over the next days, Malcolm changes. He learns a lot about animals. More, in many ways, than he would like. He learns what it’s really like to be an animal. A whole series of animals, in fact…This time no Parent Agencies, no Controllers that will control people/animals, oh no, this time we are experiencing what it is like to be an animal, and not just one, but quite a few of them. Mother, father, grandfather, big sister and little brother dance around the bed singing Happy Birthday. Malcolm anticipates the present of his dreams, “a FZY Apache 321, hi-def screen, 4.0 GHz processor speed laptop with quad speakers and Nahimic virtual surround sound”. What he gets is a chinchilla. Malcolm isn’t happy (“I don’t love him”). Traumatised by “the monkey moment” at the zoo when he was six (it involved poo), he just doesn’t get his family’s mad love for animals (as he sings in a number rhyming “very thorough” with “David Attenborough”). A school trip to Orwell Farm, an encounter with a Himalayan goat called K-Pax and... Enough! No spoilers! Not everyone has read the award-winning 2017 David Baddiel novel on which this cheery new musical (score by David Perkins) is based. I enjoyed this book because Malcom is a good character. He really doesn't like animals and goes on a school trip to a farm! Malcolm doesn't like animals but his family loves them. When he changes into different animals, he gets to know how the feel and do. After that situation he loves animals, supports his family and his pets.

A whole series of animals, in fact...What happens when a compulsive liar is suddenly unable to tell anything but the truth? Misunderstanding and mayhem, certainly - but also plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and some unexpected consequences. When the royal castle is destroyed in an Unfortunate Incident involving a fire-breathing dragon, the King and his best friend, the cat, are forced to find an alternative home.

Later on the book gets even more excited as a race against time starts and Malcolm has to ask all his friends to help him out. And thus enter the animals, and the transformation. Most of the book take place on the farm, and we see Malcolm make friends, transform in another animal, find out about what happened to him, and also has a jolly good time as he discovers that being an animal can be quite fun and delightful. A whole world opens up to him, and I laughed quite hard that he had to keep repeating the story over and over again, and had to ask for witnesses (the animals he was previous with). Malcolm simply can't understand his family's obsession with animals. A house full of pets and weekly trips to the zoo hold absolutely no appeal for him, but what he really would like is a shiny, new laptop for his birthday.

From David Baddiel, the brightest new star of children’s books and winner of the LOLLIES award, comes a laugh-out-loud adventure for every child who ever wondered what it might be like to be a bit of an animal… AniMalcolm is a fiction book and it is about a boy called Malcolm who doesn't like animals. He wants to go on the Year 6 trip but when he finds out where it is he doesn't want to go. His parents booked him on the trip. When he gets there he learns what is really like to be an animal. A whole series of animals in fact... K-Pax the goat cursed him into different animals. It makes him eat differently , smell differently ,think differently. Will he return into a human again? My favourite character is Malcolm. Throughout the book you also see him change as he understands more and more about animals, as he makes friends with them, as he hears their stories, as he sees just what they do for him. It does make him think differently. And speak differently. And eat differently. And, um, smell differently. But will he end up the same as before?
