Summary

The new heartwarming and hilariously brilliant story, beautifully read by number one best-selling author David Walliams.

Dads come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. There are fat ones and thin ones, tall ones and short ones. There are young ones and old ones, clever ones and stupid ones. There are silly ones and serious ones, loud ones and quiet ones. Of course, there are good dads and bad dads....

A high-speed cops and robbers adventure with heart and soul about a father and son taking on the villainous Mr Big – and winning!

This riches-to-rags story will have you on the edge of your seat and howling with laughter! Bad Dad is a fast and furious, heartwarming story of a father and son on an adventure - and a thrilling mission to break an innocent man into prison!

Not for young children

Not for young children. Hopefully many of the adult themes will go over their heads. It’s a bit too sinister for my 5 and 7 year old. Torture, pointing guns, abandoned by mother. Didn’t laugh at all, unreal one minute and too real the next. I thought reverend Judith was meant to bring moral balance to counter dads bad actions, not introduce a lesbian marriage that seemed crowbarred in there with no relevance to the story what so ever, only a little high 5 to LGBT. Not for us.

Not a nurturing content

The more I listen to David Walliam's books, the more I realise the content is unsuitable for children and not nurturing. I wouldn't recommend.

funny audio

good narrating

I found it a wee bit sad at moments but if you know David Walliams, raj or anyone else in his amazing BOOKS👍👍👍💖💕😺😺..... will make you laugh
my favourite character was close between raj and frank but I lean towards frank more than raj because of how many books raj is in.
but I chose frank because of how risky and funny yet weirdly saving himself in a way I can't quite explain.

ok so what your reading right now is my opinion of this audio book which is simply amazing but you may or may not agree ,any way its for pretty much all ages except if your mum isn't around or if you have a fear of jail…

IT IS AMAZING I RECOMMEND IT SO MUCH

Brilliant bad dad


David Walliams kids books are my guilty secret.

They are brilliantly written and fabulously narrated.

Nothing negative to say except why haven’t you listened to this?
