Walliams published his first trendy book, The Boy in the Dress, in 2008, marking the beginning of his literary success. The book tells the progressive tale of a 12-year-old football player who cross-dresses and makes shameless jokes. Walliams' writing has often been compared to the works of Roald Dahl, with his books illustrated by Dahl's long-time collaborator Quentin Blake. The Boy in the Dress became a number-one bestseller in Britain, cementing Walliams's transition from a sketch show comedian to a bestselling author.

Next, we recommend Mr. Stink (2009), with equally stunning illustrations by Quentin Blake. The book reached the number one spot, making Walliams the fastest-growing children's author in the UK. 

Another great pick is Billionaire Boy (2010), a marvellous fable about Joe, a wealthy twelve-year-old with everything but a friend. This book teaches the value of friendships and how they outweigh money.

We also recommend Gangsta Granny (2011), a story of prejudice and acceptance, funny lists, and silly words. Ben is bored staying at his grandma's house until he discovers she was once an international jewel thief planning to steal the Crown Jewels and needs his help. 

Following the epic escapades with Gangsta Granny, your child will love other hilarious novels by Walliams, including Ratburger, Awful Auntie, Grandpa's Great Escape, and The Midnight Gang. If your child prefers short stories, check out The World's Worst Children volumes 1 to 3, The World's Worst Parents, and The World's Worst Teachers. These scabrous stories are hilarious from start to finish.

At Books2Door, we have stocked up on these and many more David Walliams books in curated book sets for specific age groups. Make room on your child's bookshelf for his epic collections of books for readers aged 7-9 years. Your child will laugh themselves silly with these quirky tales, all available in a nifty box book set, packed with memorable characters, hilarious moments, and side-splitting illustrations.
