Welcome to the latest episode of Book Worms!
To kick things off Bex chatted to David Baddiel about his new book Small Fry where we meet Burger Supremo Benny where he must find a way to defeat fast food giant Bonkers Burgers who want to destroy any competition by any means necessary
Bex also speaks to Irish rugby legend Donncha O'Callaghan to chat all about Disaster Dad: Chicken Chaos where Mum is going to America to visit family for a week and has left a very clear master plan for Dad, Finn and Emma to follow. But when the plan is destroyed, Dad goes rogue and starts organising a birthday surprise!
And to round off the episode Bex chats to Saturday Night Live star Kate McKinnon about The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science a madcap new adventure about three sisters, a ravenous worm, and a mysterious mad scientist where the girls must learn to embrace what has always made them stand out – before it’s too late!
That's all on this week's episode of Fun Kids Book Worms
