"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
