Fab but really needs chapter titles rather than just numbers because every kid has a favourite story and they should be made easier for parents to find. 🤔

I didn't want to be disappointed but I was
I really wanted to love this but was left lacking. Both the performance and stories seem hollow and 1 dimentional. There is so much scope for Walliams to appeal to oddball and diverse kids and I was really hoping Walliams work hit the mark but I just found these stories annoying.
