Product Information

Of je daarom alle boeken kan aanraden van zijn hand? Het is op gevoel handelen als bibliothecaresse want zijn boeken voelen vaak hit & miss aan. Dat betekent niet dat de miss echt mis is. Het betekent dat zijn stijlen en onderwerpen per boek kunnen wisselen. Zo vond ik Oma Boef prachtig maar gruwelde van de Tandarts (Die kon ik echt niet uitlezen eeks!). Knap. Maar een ouder klaagde dat Oma Boef te ver ging omdat het criminaliteit zou bejubellen. Tsja... Net als dat sommige werken nogal grof taalgebruik bevatten.

Do you like bananas, spy missions and gorillas spitting in your face? If you do this is the book for you! While hiding out they uncover a top-secret Nazi plot, escape the clutches of some villains and in the end save the day! Grandma is also initially portrayed as quite awful despite the undercurrent that carers might notice: she’s angry because she loves Eric and wants to keep him safe. It’s not until just before she dies that Walliams fleetingly reframes Grandma from cranky scary old person to loving Grandma. Then she’s dead. Grandma is “deaf” so, this being the 1940s during World War II, she uses a hearing trumpet. Cue the usual jokes about hearing impaired people misunderstanding others.

Given Walliams’s history of Pander[ing] to Prejudice, it’s not surprising that Code Name Bananas uses disability as a vehicle for laughs and plot points. Deafness as comedy David has proved himself as a dramatic actor in BBC2's 'Capturing Mary' with Dame Maggie Smith, in BBC1's Agatha Christie series 'Partners In Crime', as Frankie Howerd in the biopic ‘Rather You Than Me’ for BBC4, and on the stage in Harold Pinter’s 'No Man’s Land' starring alongside Sir Michael Gambon. He received the Comedy Award at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards for his performance as Bottom in ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ directed by Michael Grandage.

David Walliams is fast becoming a global phenomenon in the world of children’s literature – his ability to wow fans is unprecedented with global sales over 14.1 million. Sometimes, though, people felt safer sleeping on the platforms of London’s underground (Tube) train stations – it’s thought there were about 180,000 ‘Tubites’ in the capital each night. Per sort, aconsegueixen tocar el dos, però s'hauran de amagar en llocs ben estranys... fins i tot dins d'un submarí! Que potser s'han convertit en superespies? Code Name Bananas will be a hit with primary school children although it may cause problems for those who are Deaf, hearing impaired, or have detachable limbs. I would like to think that Sid’s representation – although distasteful to me – actually helps children missing legs. The Last Leg cast use legless humor themselves but the difference is that two of the three do not have a full complement of limbs whereas Walliams is laughing at disabled people. And his career consists of laughing at minorities while pandering to prejudice. Gorillas are the largest of the great apes, but sadly they are critically endangered because of habitat loss and poaching.

I agree that children should not be saddled with responsibility for adults. And yet it’s hard to read this story where the boy is naughty. His naughtiness means he’s not there to tell Grandma to go to the bomb shelter so she dies. I hoped that Grandma just forgot her trumpet and would turn up at the end, but Walliams fridges her “because plot”. Legless humor
