The Baddies (PB)

The first volume in The Baddies series, this wickedly funny picture book from Julia Donaldson - now in paperback - brings together the creators of Zog and Stick Man for a mischievous tale. This juvenile fiction title blends humor, action, and folklore as a boastful ghost, witch, and troll compete to be the meanest in the land. Their antics are upended when a brave girl moves into the cottage next door.

With cleverness and courage, she shows the baddies that size doesn't determine bravery in this playful story inspired by fables, nursery rhymes, and myth. A lively addition to any child's collection of animal adventures and curiosities and wonders, this paperback edition of The Baddies is a celebration of outsmarting even the trickiest villains.
