Product description

The jaw-achingly funny children’s book from No. 1 bestselling author David Walliams – a deliciously daft Tall Story of a child who had everything, but still wanted more. Illustrated by artistic genius, Tony Ross.

Meet the Meeks!

Myrtle Meek has everything she could possibly want. But everything isn’t enough. She wants more, more, MORE! When Myrtle declares she wants a FING, there’s only one problem… What is a FING?

Mr and Mrs Meek will do anything to keep their darling daughter happy, even visit the spooky library vaults to delve into the dusty pages of the mysterious Monsterpedia. Their desperate quest leads to the depths of the jungliest jungle where the rarest creatures can be found. But will they ever find a FING?

An explosively funny, totally surreal Tall Story about two perfectly nice parents and their unbelievably monstrous daughter from the phenomenal bestselling author David Walliams.

Brilliantly funny and engaging

My 9 yr old daughter loved this book. It was read in 2 days, she was chuckling and giggling at the characters antics. She just couldn’t put it down. An absolute brilliant buy and a great author for children to read.

Fantastic Fing

This book was so enjoyable. I could read it over and over again and not get bored. It has such a funny ending and made me crack up. David Walliams is my favourite author.
