Overview
An entire world of hilariously horrible and delightfully dreadful children awaits in this three-book paperback collection from David Walliams, one of the UK's best-selling children's authors. Illustrated throughout in full color by Tony Ross, The World's Worst Children, The World's Worst Children 2, and The World's Worst Children 3 gather thirty cautionary tales of naughty boys and gruesome girls whose over-the-top antics push mischief to hilarious new extremes. Packed with big laughs, bold artwork, and characters kids love to hate, this bind-up introduces Walliams's irreverent humor to readers ages 7-9 (Grades 2-4).
About the Books
David Walliams introduces a rotating cast of ten hilariously horrible children per book, each one a wickedly funny cautionary tale pushed to its most exaggerated extreme. The World's Worst Children opens the collection with instantly recognizable troublemakers like Sofia Sofa, a girl so addicted to television she is fusing with the couch, and Dribbling Drew, whose relentless drool wreaks havoc on a school outing. The World's Worst Children 2 raises the stakes with even ruder, more disgusting misbehavior and a memorable cameo from fan-favorite Raj, rewarding readers who followed the first book with a fun sense of continuity. The World's Worst Children 3 rounds out the trilogy with ten brand-new catastrophically naughty kids, including relentless prankster Hank and tantrum-throwing Tandy, closing things out with fresh energy and a wider cast of characters. Every story across all three books is illustrated in glorious, gruesome full color by acclaimed illustrator Tony Ross, whose expressive artwork brings each larger-than-life personality vividly to the page and gives reluctant readers a strong visual hook to stay engaged. Walliams's short, punchy chapters and rapid-fire jokes make this collection ideal for confident readers racing through funny fiction and newer readers who benefit from bite-sized stories. Though the misbehavior is exaggerated for comic effect, the tone stays warm and gently moral, poking fun at bad manners without ever feeling mean-spirited.
