About the Author

David Walliams – comedian, actor and author – continues to take the children's literary world by storm. His tenth novel, BAD DAD, was an immediate number one, following the triumph of THE MIDNIGHT GANG, the biggest-selling children's book of 2016. WORLD'S WORST CHILDREN 2, which published in early 2017, spent four weeks at industry number one and eight weeks at the top of the children's chart. They have achieved unprecedented critical acclaim – and RATBURGER, DEMON DENTIST and AWFUL AUNTIE have all won the National Book Awards Children's Book of the Year. David's books have now exceeded 100 non-consecutive weeks in the children's number-one spot, and have been translated into 53 languages, selling more than 32 million copies worldwide.

Born in London, Tony Ross went to art school in Liverpool. His cartoons have appeared in famous publications the world over. His first book, HUGO AND THE WICKED WINTER, was published in 1972. Tony has since written over 100 books and illustrated over 2000! His creations Towser and The Little Princess have been turned into TV series.

David Walliams

Since beginning his publishing career in 2008, David Walliams has taken the children’s literary world by storm. His sixth book Demon Dentist was published in September 2013.

David is currently the fastest growing children’s author in the UK. Following the Christmas 2012 success and Bafta nomination of the BBC adaptation of his second book, Mr Stink, starring Hugh Bonneville, Gangsta Granny was aired in 2013 over Christmas. Walliams’ books have achieved unprecedented critical acclaim and it comes as no surprise that countless broadsheet reviewers have compared him to his all-time hero, Roald Dahl.

David is well known for his work with Matt Lucas. Together they created Little Britain. David and Matt followed Little Britain with the hugely popular spoof airport documentary series Come Fly With Me.

David has also proven himself as a dramatic actor, with acclaimed roles in Stephen Poliakoff’s Capturing Mary for BBC2, as Frankie Howerd in the biopic Rather You Than Me for BBC4, and on the West End stage in Harold Pinter’s No Man’s Land starring alongside Sir Michael Gambon and in Michael Grandage’s version of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Noël Coward Theatre in 2013.

Miss Root the worst dentist EVER !!

Reviewed in Australia on 11 July 2015

Verified Purchase

At the start of the book there is a dentist that pulls all of Alfie's teeth out. Miss Root is a really nasty dentist who goes around at night,like the tooth fairy,collects teeth and when that child awakes the next morning instead of finding money they find something horrible like a pigs eyeball.David Williams you always think outside the box and I think thats what makes your stories more interesting and also why people do a five star rating and good book reviews just for the best author I can think of.

Thank you David Walliams for Demon Dentist. It is a great book, and I am looking forward to getting more of his books. (If I can convince someone to buy it for me. The only thing I have against his books is the price tag.)

Typical Walliams but not his best

A little disappointed after The Boy in The Dress. A bit darker and seemed almost to be a caricature of a Roald Dahl book. Kids enjoyed it but were as effusive as with other Walliams books

Massively overrated author based on this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 August 2020

Verified Purchase

What’s all the hype about with Williams?? Read one of his books and you’ve read them all. Shock tactics, toilet humour, big and bold words filling the page, made up words, the word ‘however’ appears in every second sentence in every book I’ve read of his. Every child in the storyline has a dead, disabled or living on the poverty line parent... really??!!? Every book David!? This book is simply terrible - kids having teeth pulled out by pliers is far from funny for my kids (8,7 and 6). They were horrified. I have read 3-4 of his books now, first one funny and then they are so samey - predictable and trying to be ‘on the edge’ for kids books, bite they are not, in my every growing experience they are simply books about unpleasant people and David tries to make them funny. I have read reviews saying Williams is the new Roald Dahl - what????? They are not even in same league, not even the same sport let alone a worthy successor as some say. It just feels like he’s churning out the books as they name him money and the good reviews (for the life of me I don’t understand them) have gone to his head. My kids laugh out loud at Mr Gum books, they LOVE Roald Dahl stories - the descriptions, they are so immersing and creative, Walliams is unable to do this. My advice, pick one of his books and read that, then move on as the subsequent reads start to underwhelm in a major way...

Excellent BUT....One of Davids Darker Stories - Not Suitable for younger children

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 April 2015

Verified Purchase

This is another fantastic book from David Walliams but most definitely one of his darker works.
As mentioned in several other reviews sensitive and younger children will likely find the dentist absolutely terrifying.
I actually soldiered on through the chapter when Alfie is trapped, restrained and tortured by the dentist inwardly preying and expecting for the funny stuff to happen to balance things but it just didn't, she rips all of his teeth out with horrifically described torture instruments and he escapes with no teeth at all.
It IS a funny story (in places) with some great characters as usual, Raj the newsagent is a big favourite of ours but I would definitely NOT recommend this for kids under 10, and especially not for any kids who have the slights fear of dentists!!
We really enjoyed it and It is a good theatrical read to treat the kids to if you still enjoy reading to them as I do.

MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

Well, I have to confess, I have never really paid much attention to the multi-talented Mr. Walliams in any capacity. Some people you just don't take to for absolutely NO REASON at all - and it isn't fair, yet we're all guilty of it whether we admit to it or not, yet whilst in a book shop some time ago, I was drawn to this book which I opened and read the first few paragraphs which had me nearly collapsing to the floor in fits of hysterics, but placed it back on the shelf - and this I did on about three occasions before taking the risk and actually buying it. I wish I'd purchased it first time around! This is one of the VERY, VERY ,VERY best and FUNNIEST books I've ever read, and I've been reading a number of books for young adults and children lately, and as I haven't been well, this has been more than a real TONIC for me! There were numerous occasions when I actually laughed out loud as I read, and I don't ever recall doing that with a book - not ever! The illustrations are FABULOUS from Tony Ross - they're SO full of life, enthusiasm, and in tune with each and every character - they could have been drawn by Walliams himself they seem so accurate and authentic to the personalities!

SPOILER ALERT!

The characters in this book have SUCH substance to them; characters I will never forget and recall with much humour in `Miss Root' and `Winnie' (the social worker) in particular for as long as I live! Even the characters that played a very small part had marked differences from each other and seemed real!

When I first started the book, I really believed that with what seems rather a substantial read, could not possibly have maintained the same momentum throughout; I really felt it would have to slow down and the humour diminish somewhat with its progress - how wrong I was!! The story and narrative kept up its unique style and quality throughout, and towards the end gave that much needed excitement and unpredictability that any really good children's book of today really needs in bucket loads! There's also surprises; I thought for a long time that the social worker was in league with Miss Root!

From the amusing `KNICKERGATE' encountered with Miss Hare; the mere sight of Winnie crawling through a hole and losing her clothes on the way to reveal a bright orange bra that would hold footballs - and large pink knickers that would house kids in a small tent - to the speeding of the social worker on her moped through the school corridors during the big chase - to hearing Winnie: 'Oh my word - look at the boy's teet' - Alfie: 'my teet?' - to mention just a mere handful of hilarious gems that will have you roll around the floor with laughter in this... Sue Townsend was SPOT ON when she said Walliams' books will become classics! With just a hint of modern technology, (not over done) this story could be set in any era - which is really the secret and type of stuff that makes classics that can be enjoyed for generations! This was SUCH a delightful book and SO enjoyable to read, I was SO sad to reach the end of it - I just wanted it to go on and on and on! I just know I will read it again and again...

I'm particularly impressed to learn that this was not David Walliams' first book, and as so often with good writers, their books do not always get better, and so I see he's written several before this, and I will most certainly be purchasing them ALL - and can't wait to get my teet in to them! (no pun intended!)

Cannot praise this book enough, and if this is the same standard as Mr. Walliams has been turning out since 2008, then long may it continue - and long may he reign for giving so much laughter to kids of all ages - even ones like myself in their sixth decade!!

FABULOUS STUFF & worth every single penny!! (can't believe anyone would give this less than five stars...)

Why oh why would an author shatter the magic of childhood for young children?!?! My 9 year old still believed before this book, now he’s talking about it in front of his 5 year old brother! I thought I was safe with a children author! My son has loved all the David Walliams books, some we shared, others he read. Not anymore!
