Robodog: The incredibly funny new illustrated children’s book for 2023, from the multi-million bestselling author of SPACEBOY

Product Information

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. There is a billion dollar robbery to be foiled, where only a rat who swears he’s a mouse can save the day.

Throughout the story, the other dogs find that though Robodog doesn't feel or recognise emotions in the same way as others, he is still a loveable, kind character. I loved seeing elements of the story highlighted by the illustrations, especially the wacky characters. Personally, I think I preferred Tony Ross's illustrations over Adam Stower's but he still captured the essence.They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. Since I am not the target audience for this book, I don’t think my issues with it will affect young readers as there are so many crazy elements to this story for them to love. Supercharged and ready for action and adventure, can Robodog stop the most feared criminal duo in Bedlam and thwart their evil plans to destroy the city? The Chief turns to the Professor with an ingenious idea: a single dog that can aid in different police activities; a robot dog “Robodog”.

I loved that Plank was so silly, I think if Plank could get a medal for anything it would be for being silly.The characters are flat and talk a lot but nothing happens, apart from things getting damaged and making sounds. 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. The writing was fast-paced, easy to follow, and a little bit naughty, and the characters were weird and wacky.

On top of that, during the second half of this book the narrative split into two and we were jumping back and forth between two storylines and two sets of characters which felt disconnected and at times really annoying.Given how much enjoyment I got from the illustrations I can only imagine how much young readers are going to love them. Unlike Dave Pilkey’s somewhat stupid Dog Man, Robodog is not only brave, strong intelligent, and capable of heroic deeds, he is also a very likeable character who cries tears of oil when sad and whose biggest dream is to be a real dog, loved by his human parents. Robodog is the action-packed comic caper with cats, dogs and robots and set in a world of superheroes and supervillains. His books have now been translated into 40+ languages, and also include picture books illustrated by Tony Ross.

He has gone on to take the children’s literary world by storm, dominating sales charts and twice winning the National Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year.
