David Walliams’ picture books bring his comic voice to stories for younger readers. The fourteen books include The Slightly Annoying Elephant (2013), The Bear Who Went Boo! (2015), and Spaceboy (2022).
Walliams has published picture books consistently since 2013, often releasing one or two per year alongside his chapter books. The Queen’s Orang-Utan (2015) and Geronimo (2018) show his love of absurd situations, while Little Monsters (2021) and Grannysaurus (2022) find humor in family life. The Blunders (2023) is the most recent entry.
The picture books are typically shorter and aimed at children under six, compared to his longer novels for the eight-to-twelve age group. Many are illustrated by Adam Stower or Tony Ross, whose art style brings energy to Walliams’ jokes. For families already reading his chapter books, the picture books offer a way to introduce younger siblings to his humor.
