"Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler
are the Lennon and McCartney of children's publishing" Sunday
Times

This fabulous board
book from superstar author and illustrator Julia Donaldson and
Axel Scheffler is a riot of slapstick fun and silliness.
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 brilliant
board book edition with sturdy pages and softly rounded corners
is perfect for little ones
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 The Smeds and The Smoos - all of
which have been made into animated films premiering on BBC1 Christmas
Day
