Author and comedian David Baddiel chats about his latest children's book 'Birthday Boy'.

The book is a tale for every child who has wondered: Why can't it be my birthday every day? Sam Green was really, really, really looking forward to his eleventh birthday. He couldn't wait. In the days leading up to it - his birthday was on the eighth of September - he simply wouldn't talk about anything else. The special breakfasts in bed, the presents, the themed parties, blowing the candles out, everything!

At first, it's quite exciting when Sam's birthday appears again the next morning and again, and again and again...But it's not long before things start to go wrong. Disaster strikes, threatening something Sam loves even more than birthdays. In order to protect what he loves most, Sam must overcome selfishness, greed and extreme weight gain and embark on a daring and adventurous mission with his sister Ruby.
