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…
Malcolm doesn’t like animals. 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. 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. 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… 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? Because sometimes the hardest thing to become is… yourself.Reviews
It is interested me because a boy who doesn't like animals, then becomes one, and then he likes animals suddenly! I recommend it to people who aren't that keen on animals!

It's about a kid who hates animals at the start of the book. He has lots of pets but doesn't like them. However, he goes to a farm with his school & he transforms into an animal! He then learns to love animals by the end of the book.

It was funny when Malcolm turned into lots of different animals . my favourite character was Malcolm because at the end he lied about being on the school bus, so he thought quickly! I also liked Bertie, because he kept saying 'can I eat it?' which was funny. I would recommend it to someone else as it us a fun, exciting adventure story.

Possibly the best book I have read.It is such an amazing novel and is really engaging from the beginning to the end.Although the start and part of the end might not be as fun to read, the rest of it couldn't be better.

I liked the idea about making him experience animals feelings because it helps him understand why they do that and makes him support them.
