Summary

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. 
This humorous tale, penned by the Sunday Times bestselling author, David Baddiel, is a testament to his winning storytelling abilities. It's no wonder that this bestselling book has been long-listed for numerous prizes, captivating children and juvenile readers alike with its unique blend of fiction and reality. 
For fans of Jeff Kinney (The Deep End), Liz Pichon (Top of the Class), Larry Hayes (How to be a Kid Boss), Danny Wallace (The Day the Screens Went Blank), and Marta Kissi (The Friend Dilemma).
