0:26
Would it have hurt you to do that? To do the actual maths? No, to actually dress as one of my characters
0:32
No. What we need, what we always need is a trio. So have any of your books got like trios in
0:37
Because there's me, Ashley and Jamie. Yes, I do have some trios. There's characters, aren't there? Yes
0:43
There's like three baddies. Last year you made me dress as a wardrobe
0:46
for the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Yeah, he was the wardrobe. Because he's tall so it's hard for him to, you know

Okay, well, listen. Aneia's a big fan of yours, David. We're going to put that knowledge to the test
1:54
We're going to find out if she knows more about your books than you do. So we're going to give you a quiz about David's books
2:00
I want you to shout out your name if you know the answer. Aneia, is that clear
2:05
Yes. David, you good to go? Yes I good to go I going to buzz in Okay you do whatever you want I going to buzz like that For the very camp B Let do that How dare you
2:20
Okay, question one. Are you ready? Shout your name if you know the answer
2:25
Question one. Hang on a minute. What is the Gangsta Granny sequel called
2:35
Inea. Oh, go on Inea. Gangster Granny Strikes again. Is the correct answer
2:42
Well done. Okay. Name me evil dentist in Demon Dentist. Aenea. Oh, that's Aenea
2:50
I was trying to buzz in. Go on, Aenea. Miss, Mrs. Church
2:55
No. Oh, no. No, blz, blz. David. For double points, it goes over to the other team
3:03
For 500 pounds, the answer is Miss Root. Is it right? Yay, Miss Root
3:10
500 pounds. Is there a Miss Trot in any books? Probably, I can't remember
3:16
Okay, question three. What is the title of the, I think this is the very first book
3:21
in which a boy called Dennis loves wearing dresses? A nail. Go on
3:27
The Boy and the Jets. Yes. Oh, I knew that. Technically, that was your autobiography, wasn't it
3:33
Yes, it was, in a way. In Awful Auntie. What's Stella's surname
3:41
Ilya. I feel like that was David. That was David. Yeah, that was David
3:46
Saxby. Saxby's the right answer, which means, rather thrillingly, it's two all as we go to a final tie-breaking question
3:52
It is all down to this last question. Awful Aunty was Lexi's favourite book
3:57
And one of the reasons she actually picked up books after that and started reading them
4:00
which is true of so many children who start actually getting keen to read
4:05
after they've read your books. so that's wonderful question five last one
4:10
this is a decider in the world's worst pets what animal is bumble
4:17
an ear go on bungee a budgie a budgie the right answer Who likes to bungee jump Which means a bungee jumping budgie
4:33
Which means we've got a winner and it's a name! Well done
4:37
But I'm just thinking, is there any sort of prize? Yeah, what's the prize for this
4:43
Well, I've been thinking what could be a nicer prize on World Book Day
4:47
And one thing I love to do as much as I possibly can is visit school, spread my love of reading and writing
4:55
And so I believe you go to St Anne's school. Yes. Is that right
5:01
In about an hour's time, I'm going to be at your school
5:05
So your teachers already obviously know about this. And I'm going to do an hour's show just for you and all your friends at the school
5:14
Is that a good prize? Yes. And everybody is getting a free copy of one of my books
5:22
Not Amanda Holden's autobiography. That would be, let's face it, inappropriate. I've already got it
5:29
But everyone in every single person in your school is going to get a signed copy of one of my books as well
5:36
Okay? So tell your friends to think of some questions because there's going to be a Q&A thing
5:41
And I'm also going to do a thing. I'm going to ask you kids whether you want to nominate
5:46
any of your teachers to be in the world's worst teachers. I know you said they were nice, but
5:50
it could be a funny reason. They shout at you, give me too much homework or something
5:54
like that. So, have a think. Oh, well, listen. I wish everyone could see
5:57
her little face. She's beaming from ear to ear. Well, listen, Aneia, enjoy that
6:03
Thank you for coming on this morning. What's your teacher call that's been helping you this morning
6:08
Mr. Hilton. Well done, Mr. Hilton. Oh, my gosh, look at him. He's got Mr. Grubby
6:16
Thank you! Oh, I love that shirt. Paris Hilton's dad. Very accommodating. Anyway
6:23
David, it must be brilliant though, having, I mean it is, your books are massively successful
6:28
but to sort of have kids do this sort of thing must be such a compliment. Yeah, I think it really comes home to me on World Book Day. Yeah
6:34
Because obviously people post their pictures everywhere and I see all these kids often have gone to like amazing effort like in Grandpa Great Escape on the cover you know the kids are in a spitfire
6:44
and people actually make like a model spitfire and go like that so things like that
6:50
are amazing there'll be a lot of gangster grannies I imagine today
6:53
Has your little boy dressed up as Alfred? Yes he dressed up
6:58
as the abominable but nice snowman from the world's worst monsters. It was his idea
7:04
I was about to say, do you force him to wear it? No, I don't. He wanted to
7:11
Because he's supportive of his father. We didn't have World Book Day, did we, when we were kids
7:16
I think when you, but I had it because I'm a good 20 years younger
7:21
We had it, yes. But I think books weren't really invented, were they, when you were at home
7:28
It's a shame, isn't it? Because it's a really fun thing and dressing up can be as..
7:32
We never dressed up at all at school. We barely did Halloween when we were kids. There was no reason to dress up
7:38
But I guess in terms of encouraging us to read, I mean, I had a teacher who was fantastic, an English teacher
7:43
What was that called? Mr. Benjamin. And he was very sort of proactive when it came to encouraging us to read
7:51
But it is so important, isn't it? Yeah, it is. And I think that people think, oh, it's just about learning to read, reading books
7:58
But it's not. I mean, stories do much for us. You know, they increase empathy
8:02
we understand the world better increase your bank balance why do you have to go there
8:09
he's doing a nice speech about how books can encourage our children
8:13
you ruined it he's showing off do you know why? because he fancies you what
8:21
no he does not children don't listen to this it is world book day today
8:28
he's gone red look at him look at the state of him
8:34
it's a tomato oh dear and a big thanks to David Wallian
8:39
