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.
房子裡沒有滿滿的是馬爾科姆喜歡的東西。比如他想要生日的筆記本電腦。地平線上唯一的亮點是六年級學校之旅，馬爾科姆從來沒有想過他的父母會付錢。
然而，他在公共汽車上前往......哦不。一個農場。在接下來的幾天裡，馬爾科姆改變了。
他學到了很多關於動物的知識。在許多方面，比他想要的更多。他了解成為動物的真實感受。
事實上，一系列動物......確實讓他有不同的思考方式。換句話說。和吃不同。而且，嗯，聞起來不一樣。但他會像以前一樣結束嗎？因為有時候最困難的事情就是......你自己。
