If you want to watch a David Walliams film with your family, then i would recommend Mr Stink or Boy in the dress, but if you want to watch one for a laugh then Gangsta Granny is a good pick. In poking fun at their obsession with the dancing show, Walliams is also I guess poking fun at his own world (I only discovered that he is a judge on Britain’s Got Talent when I wrote a post about this book some time ago).

But all that changes one day to just the reverse when he discovers that his grandma is an international jewel thief—a gangsta granny! David and Tony have worked on seven bestselling picture books together, and thirteen of David’s phenomenally successful children’s novels.He went to art school in Liverpool and has since worked as a typographer for design and advertising agencies. A story of prejudice and acceptance, funny lists and silly words, this new book has all the hallmarks of David's previous bestsellers.

Now Ben can’t wait to be at Granny’s to hear all about her adventures when she was young(as he realises to his surprise that all grannies are), and even to try and join her on one, perhaps? The character of a young boy named Ben, is acclaimed to be a hero, who is bored beyond belief after he is made to stay over at his Grandma’s house… But she is the most boring Grandma there can be. The book has also been adapted into a 130-minute theatre performance by the Birmingham Stage Company. In front of the Queen, Granny claims that the jewellery in her box is plastic and that she had made up the story when she had realised how boring Ben thought she was.On the day of the heist, he forgets the competition and, not having practised once with Florence, who condemns him to dance alone at the last minute, Ben embarrasses himself on the dance floor. Have the most grand spin around and around on the Royal Carousel and bounce up and down and down and up on the superbly springy Raj’s Bouncy Bottom Burp! This is all about eleven-year-old Ben, whose parents are obsessed with a dancing show “Strictly Stars Dancing”, and who want him to take an interest in it as well. But this sort of humour while it was easy to overlook in this book is making me a little reluctant to dive into others that he’s written though others sound like interesting plots as well.

After Mr Parker fails to thwart the heist by tipping off a policeman ( Steve Speirs), Ben and Granny are escorted by the police to the Tower. Granny's legacy is remembered at Christmas, when the Queen delivers a message saying that young people should be more caring towards the elderly, in which she indirectly mentions her meeting with Ben and Granny in the Tower of London.
