Similar author to David Walliams?

[enjoy]

My son loves David Walliams books,

but as we are coming to an end with these books

I am looking for a 'simila' author.

Any ideas or recommendations?

I think his books are very reminiscent of Roald Dahl - have you read all of those?

The Mr Gum books by Andy Stanton have a similar sense of humour.

not sure of the author but my son loves pugs of the frozen north, cakes in space, oliver and the seawigs

My 9 year old loves David Walliams books, and also the Lemony Snicket series - I haven't read any of the Lemony Snicket ones but they certainly hold his attention in the same way as the Walliams books.

I watched the TV version of Gangsta Granny with my kids yesterday, very clever and entertaining (and sad!).

Many thanks for the sugesstions.

Roald Dahl has benn covered by the school, therefore he is bot too keen on it.

Will go and browse the library with these ideas in mind.

No idea. But I do know David Walliams is doing a reading of his books at the Southbank Innocence festival this year. You should get your son a ticket!

Thanks for this - it's David Walliams and Michael Mupurgo, two of our favourites, so I've booked some tickets!

My son loves these (and is also a Walliams/Dahl fan):

We have girls and love the written works and illustrations of Chris a Riddle which drew us to these. All my girls, aged 7,8 and 10 love this series
