Trade Review

Praise for The World’s Worst Children:

"'I loved it because it's so funny I laughed my head off!" Ben, aged 8

"A positively gruesome book" Guardian

“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

“Often described as the modern-day Roald Dahl, 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” Independent

Praise for David Walliams’ books:

“The new Roald Dahl” Evening Standard

"A triumphant mix of wit and warmth" Telegraph

“Ridiculously over-the-top and utterly delightful” Spectator

"His books are a breath of wonderful fresh air" Sun

“Delightfully funny” Metro
