Bad Dad: Laugh-out-loud funny children’s book by bestselling author David Walliams

Product Information

Kirja on lastenromaaniksi melko pitkä yli 400 sivullaan ja itsekin meinasin ihan hengästyä sitä lukiessani, sillä 400 sivuun mahtuu t o d e l l a paljon käänteitä. Toisaalta pidän siitä, että lapsillekin tehdään pitkiä romaaneja, mutta niin monesti töissä on ollut tilanteessa, jossa kirja tyrmätään koska se on pitkä (esim. 200 sivua), että onhan tämä varmasti monelle haaste. a b Flood, Alison (4 October 2021).

Walliams hinted at being pansexual in the book Inside Little Britain, but said he did not like to be labelled by that word. In an interview with Radio Times in 2013, he stated: "I think it's all about falling in love with the person and that is overlooked, really. I hate it when people 'confess' or 'reveal' their sexuality and also things can change for people over the years. So it is about the person but I also think it goes beyond that. You don't just fall in love with someone's body, do you? You fall in love with someone's soul and heart and brain."
