Overview
Meet an entire world of hilariously horrible boys and girls in this brilliant three-book paperback collection from number-one bestselling author David Walliams. Packed with full-colour illustrations by Tony Ross, this box set brings together all three World's Worst Children titles in one gloriously gruesome package. Perfect for reluctant readers or a birthday treat, these bite-sized cautionary tales are guaranteed laughs from the beastliest boys and grubbiest girls in print.
About the Books
This collection gathers three of David Walliams' most-loved short story collections into a single set, each illustrated throughout in vivid colour by acclaimed illustrator Tony Ross. In The World's Worst Children, readers meet ten unforgettable characters including Sofia Sofa, a TV super-fan glued to her seat, Dribbling Drew, whose drool causes chaos on a school trip, and Blubbering Bertha, a champion crier and teller of terrible tales. The World's Worst Children 2 raises the stakes with an even ruder, even more disgusting cast, including Gruesome Griselda and Fussy Frankie, alongside a host of new beastly boys and gruesome girls guaranteed to make young readers thankful they don't know anyone quite so awful. The World's Worst Children 3 rounds off the trilogy with ten more catastrophically funny stories, from ten-year-old Hank and his endless family pranks to Tandy and her titanic tantrums. Each story is short enough for a single sitting yet packed with Walliams' trademark wicked humour and a gentle moral about behaviour and consequences, making these books ideal for independent reading, shared reading at bedtime or read-alouds in the classroom.
