Praise for The World’s Worst Children: -

“This really is Walliams at his most indulgently gross and silly - the perfect combination for thousands of his loyal fans… stunningly illustrated by Ross who captures the energy and chaos of the stories” Daily Mail -

“Laugh-out-loud funny and…downright disgusting” Daily Express -

“Walliams is a big author with big ideas and plenty of illustrations, all combining to make for real page-turners, even for kids who would normally look at you as if you’re mad to suggest reading for pleasure” The Independent -
