Demon Dentist

Product Information

Gangsta Granny went straight to number 1 in the children’s book charts and globally his books have been translated into no fewer than 25 languages. This is one of the VERY, VERY ,VERY best and FUNNIEST books I've ever read, and I've been reading a number of books for young adults and children lately, and as I haven't been well, this has been more than a real TONIC for me! David's books have achieved unprecedented critical acclaim - and both RATBURGER and DEMON DENTIST won the National Book Awards Children's Book of the Year. to mention just a mere handful of hilarious gems that will have you roll around the floor with laughter in this.

His books have now been translated into 40+ languages, and also include picture books illustrated by Tony Ross. This last detail is the basis of the story and it may seem like an inconsequential nugget, but the brilliance of Williams's storycraft is how he manages to create a comedic situation from the rather dire circumstances of Alfie's life by focusing on this one area. Enter Miss Root, the demon dentist, a ghastly-looking dame of undeterminable age (though decidedly ancient), with a vampiric (white, to break the stereotype) cat, who is on a sinister mission involving lots of children's teeth and thwarted tooth-fairy gifts, which are replaced by dad slugs, live spiders, and even old men's toe nails. Fourthly (Made -up word alert) is that everything in this book is absolutely perfect , from the point where Mrs Root arrived to the tooth witch's death.

The latest jaw-achingly funny, number-one bestselling novel from David Walliams – now out in paperback.

So I decided to read his book and I wanna say what I said a million times(probably not) in this review.The David Williams books are exciting and engaging and never fails to impress with the brilliant content and illustrations. In 2008 David’s first children’s book The Boy in the Dress was published, illustrated by Quentin Blake. Tony Ross's illustrations work brilliantly with Walliams's text; there's plenty of fast-paced action; and the jokes are gleefully ghoulish (and often gross). This delightfully dark offering from comedian-turned-bestselling author David Walliams is certain to entertain young readers. Join Alfie and Gabz on this fabulous adventure, as they investigate the strange events happening in their home town!

The dentist is a common phobia amongst children, and the more sensitive might find some of the more nightmarish scenes difficult to take, most notably when Alfie gets all his teeth removed without anaesthetic, his arms and legs held in place with metal cuffs.
