The Ice Monster: David Walliams

Product Information

Elsie soon finds herself in the Natural History Museum, where she helps bring to life the Ice Monster which is currently frozen and appearing in a new display at the world famous museum. Recently escaped from Wormly Hall Orphanage, she’s about to embark on a transition from barefoot urchin to world famous adventurer, in less time than it takes to say “another fizzingly fabulous book from David Walliams.

Here one lost woolly mammoth and an intrepid Victorian orphan are about to venture on the expedition of a lifetime.

This is a Fine Copy of this Book in Publisher's original cloth in a Fine Dust-Jacket with no chips or tears to the outer edges of the dust-wrapper. She loved it, so much so she give it a 10 out of 10, even though it is a rating system based on 1 to 5 stars. Kada Elsie, siroče koje život provodi na ulicama Londona, sazna za dolazak zagonetnog ‘’ledenog čudovišta’’, čvrsto odluči vidjeti ga u Prirodoslovnom muzeju. David Walliams má schopnosť hlboko do textu zakódovať veľké témy a dokonca aj morálne poučenia, napriek tomu, že na povrchu sa to hemží grganím, smradľavými ponožkami, červíkmi a ľuďmi ako je vedúca sirotinca pani Skysňa alebo šéf bezpečnosti Národného múzea pán Facka.

A much-used word, karma is loosely understood as a system of checks and balances in our lives, of good actions and bad deeds, of good thoughts and bad intentions.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. Für Leser abenteuerlicher Bücher, die die Leseratten mit viel englischen Charme ins viktorianische Zeitalter führen. We read it together as a family, our 8 year old is a confident reader and often reads a chapter - the chapters aren’t too long and the text isn’t too small so it is ideal for fitting in before bedtime.
