David Walliams is a superstar of kids’ books and he’s coming to Melbourne in December with his hilarious new novel, Bad Dad.
With smash hits including Ratburger, Awful Auntie, Billionaire Boy, Demon Dentist, Gangsta Granny and The World’s Worst Children, Walliams is a worldwide phenomenon in the world of children’s literature. His ability to wow fans is unrivalled, with global sales exceeding 20 million copies and books translated into 53 languages. His next classic-in-the-making, Bad Dad, is a fast and furious, heartwarming story that will have readers in stitches, in tears and on the edge of their seats.
Join us as we welcome David Walliams live and in conversation at Plenary 3, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, on Thursday 7 December. You can expect hijinks and laughter – as well as extracts of Bad Dad, read by the wonderful Walliams himself!
David Walliams will be signing books pre- and post-event: 3.30pm–4.15pm and from 5.45pm onwards.
Each child attending will receive a World of David Walliams goody bag – containing a Bad Dad bookmark and felt bandit eye mask, World’s Worst Children 2 postcard, World of David Walliams balloon and poster.
This event is perfect for children aged 7–12, but open to all ages. Children under three free on the knee.
Our bookseller at this event will be The Little Bookroom.
