David Walliams has announced that he will be releasing a free audio story every day for the next 30 days in a bid to provide entertainment for children currently unable to go to school.
The Britain's Got Talent Judge and hugely successful children's author will release recordings of extracts from his books including "The World's Worst Children" at 11am every day.
The project, titled Elevenses with The World of David Walliams, began yesterday with The Terrible Triplets and continued with Spoiled Brad today.
The recordings are available on Soundcloud, with Walliams himself narrating alongside Morgana Robinson.
Announcing the project on Twitter, Walliams wrote, "Those stuck at home with their kids may be able to relate to ‘The World's Worst Children’. I’ll be releasing an audio story every day for the next 30 days for free. First up is The Terrible Triplets! Enjoy."
