Chapter 5 Out of Date Easter Eggs DING! No, reader, that’s not your doorbell. No need to get up. It’s the sound of the bell tinkling in Raj’s shop as Bob and Joe opened the door. “Ah, Bob! My favourite customer!” said Raj. “Welcome, welcome!” Raj ran the local newsagent’s shop. All the local kids adored him. He was like the funny uncle you always wished you had. And even better than that, he sold sweets. “Hi, Raj!” said Bob. “This is Joe.” “Hello Joe,” exclaimed Raj. “Two fat boys in my shop at one time! The Lord must be smiling on me today! Why have you both got so little on?” “We came straight from cross-country running, Raj,” explained Bob. “Fantastic! How did you do?” “First and second…” replied Bob. “That’s wonderful!” exclaimed Raj. “…to last,” finished Bob. “That’s not so good. But I imagine you boys must be hungry after all that exercise. How can I help you today?” “We’d like to buy some chocolate,” said Joe. “Well, you have come to the right place. I have the finest selection of chocolate bars in this parade!” Raj announced triumphantly. Considering the only other shops in the parade were a launderette and a long since closed florist that wasn’t saying much, but the boys let it pass.Raj: Raj is a very kind shopkeeper who is on occasion rather bizarre and sells newspapers, magazines and chocolates .

Mr. Spud used to roll the toilet paper around the cardboard inner tube. Could you use this as a starting point for learning about measurement / distances / circumference? Not so long ago the Spud family had lived a very humble life’. Investigate what ‘humble’ means. Can you think of any words which have similar meanings? I am a big fan of David Walliams and have been meaning to try out his children’s books for a while, so ‘Billionaire Boy’ seemed a good first choice. The Grubbs: The Grubbs are twins who are the school bullies. One of them is Dave and another is Sue, even though they have all the same features. Their parents can't tell them apart and they are sent to a boot camp in America for juvenile delinquents. One fascinating thing about Billionaire Boy is the OCD emphasis on food, especially comfort food. Food rules Walliams’s world, arranging weddings, reconciling friends, and creating social bonds. The importance of food in children’s books has been explored thoroughly by children’s literature critics, and we find in Walliams’s novel a perfect example of a bulimic approach to chocolate and candy as the satisfaction of immediate, primitive desires in children – an easy and potent way to entrance the child reader by appealing to one of the most pressing cravings in a child’s life.Deal!” said Bob, laughing. “Imagine if you really did have that much money. It would be crazy! I guess you could have everything you ever wanted!” Joe forced a smile. “Yeah,” he said. “Maybe...” a b c "BBC - Cast announced as production begins on BBC One adaptation of David Walliams' Billionaire Boy - Media Centre" .

His dad died of cancer and his family is poor. The Grubbs bully him and is made fun of by the rest of the class for being fat. He weighs twelve tones and weighed eight tones when he was a baby. He is Raj's favourite customer. Is called blob by his classmates.

The adaptation aired on New Year's Day 2016 at 7pm on BBC One. [4] It was seen by 6.34 million viewers, making it the 17th most watched programme on BBC One for the week ending January 3, 2016 and the 21st most watched across all UK TV channels. [5] What I like in David's writing style is how he takes things to the extremes, it is so sarcastic and then he surprises you with something sad or surprising that you ought to have feelings no matter what! My niece has been telling me to read some David Walliams books for a while now (she can be quite forceful for a ten-year-old). I was initially reluctant as, I have to admit, I’m not really a fan of Walliams’ television work.
