"Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler
are the Lennon and McCartney of children's publishing" Sunday
Times
The fabulous picture book from superstar
author and illustrator Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler
is a riot of slapstick fun and silliness and is now in accessible
early-reader format, with extra-clear font and layout to support
those gaining confidence in reading. The
Baddies are the meanest, nastiest ghost, witch and troll in the
land.
They just adore being bad, and fight over
who is the worst.
When a little girl moves into a nearby
cottage, the Baddies can't wait to scare her out of her wits.
But the little girl quickly shows them that you don't
have to be big to be brave, and baddies don't always
win.
This early reader edition has extra-clear font
and layout making it acessible for those gaining confidence in reading
Perfect read-aloud rhyming text and stunning pictures
on every page with lots of details to spot
Julia and
Axel are the team that have created picture book favourites such
as The Gruffalo, Stick Man, Zog and
Highway Rat - all of which have been made into animated
films premiering on BBC1 Christmas Day.
The animated film
of Tabby McTat is on BBC One at Christmas with voice artists including
Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who) as the narrator, Rob Brydon
(Gavin and Stacey) as Fred, Sope Dirisu (Gangs of London) as Tabby
McTat, alongside Cariad Lloyd, Joanna Scanlan and Susan Wokoma.
More praise for The
Baddies:
'[The Baddies] is every bit as
charming and wonderful and funny as you'd imagine' Nihal
Arthanyake, BBC Radio 5 Live
'A mean ghost,
witch and troll try, yet hilariously fail, to frighten a girl
in this brilliant new tale from the superstar picture book duo'
The Bookseller
'Keeps little ones
grinning and guffawing from the first colour-soaked page to the
last hilarious line of this fresh, funny and exuberant rhyming
story ... With Donaldson's heartwarming, inspirational messages about
being brave and standing up to bullies, a wise and enchanting
story in a rhyme perfectly created for reading aloud, and Scheffler's
stunning and richly detailed illustrations providing lots
to spot on every page, this is a creative partnership made in children's
reading heaven!' Lancashire Evening Post
