Meet the Book Pocket Tonie authors

We’re talking page-turners, bestsellers, and classics. The books kids beg to read one more chapter of… except now they can listen to their heart’s content too! And what’s better? The authors behind these audiobooks are some of the coolest, funniest, and most kid-approved writers out there. Let’s get to know them a little better, shall we? 

David Walliams – The master of mayhem

First up, we’ve got the one and only David Walliams, author and comedian, who’s basically become the king of funny children’s books. He brings us The World's Worst Monsters, Gangsta Granny, and The Blunders Book Pocket Tonies.

These audiobooks are packed with the kind of gross-out humour and wild adventures that kids love. Whether it’s a granny with some serious secret skills or a gang of bumbling do-gooders, these stories will have your kids laughing so hard, you might want to prepare for some snorts.

Tom Fletcher – A storyteller with a twist 

Next up is Tom Fletcher, who sure knows how to capture kids’ attention. He’s famous for The Christmasaurus series (and for being a member of McFly, no biggie). You know, those magical, heartwarming tales about a dinosaur who’s best buds with Santa – but Tom is no one-season wonder. His Book Pocket Tonies will capture the imagination of kids year-round.

Take The Danger Gang Book Pocket Tonie, for example. This action-packed adventure is about a group of friends who experience mysterious (and hilarious) superpowers after a freak storm. It’s filled with suspense, laughter, and some seriously unexpected twists.

Adam Kay – Hilariously gross and totally fascinating

Now, if your kid is the kind who asks you why the sky is blue or how their body works (all before breakfast), they’re going to love Adam Kay. The Kay's Anatomy Book Pocket Tonie explores the human body – yep, even the weird and icky parts.

It’s all explained in a way that’s funny and easy to understand, making science feel like a thrilling adventure rather than a school subject.

Enid Blyton – Classic adventures, still amazing

This literary legend’s work has been around for ages – and for good reason. Her books, like The Magic Faraway Tree, Winter Stories, and Stories for Bedtime, are timeless adventures full of magic and wonder. There’s a reason generations of kids have loved these stories!

Whether your child is climbing the enchanted Faraway Tree with its mysterious lands or settling in for a cosy winter tale, the Enid Blyton Book Pocket Tonies are just the right mix of nostalgia for us grown-ups and adventure for our kids.

Dav Pilkey – Captain Underpants, enough said

We can’t forget Dav Pilkey, the genius behind Captain Underpants. If there’s a book series that can get even the most reluctant reader laughing and flipping pages, it’s this one. Pilkey’s Book Pocket Tonies are packed with superheroes, villainous toilets, and cafeteria ladies from outer space (yep, you read that right).

Pilkey’s sense of humour is perfectly in tune with what kids love – silly, outrageous, and more than a little ridiculous. With titles like Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants, it’s pretty clear they’re in for a wild ride.

Andrea Beaty – Little scientists, big ideas

Last but not least, meet The Questioneers – aka the coolest group of kid inventors, thinkers, and problem-solvers. If your child dreams of being the next big thing in science, engineering, or politics (watch out, world), these are the stories for them.

With titles like Ada Twist and the Perilous Pants, Iggy Peck and the Mysterious Mansion, Rosie Revere and the Raucous Riveters, and Sofia Valdez and the Vanishing Vote, there’s a lot of inspiration packed into Andrea Beaty's Book Pocket Tonies. These stories celebrate curiosity, creativity, and the joy of asking questions.
