Summary

From the world’s favourite author, David Walliams – ten cautionary tales and a delightfully dreadful cast of characters!

Are you ready to meet the World’s Worst Children? Five beastly boys and five gruesome girls!

  • Like Sofia Sofa – a TV super-fan so stuck to the sofa that she’s turning into one!
  • Or Dribbling Drew – a boy whose drool gets him into trouble on a school trip!
  • And not forgetting Blubbering Bertha – a girl who bawls and tells terrible tales!

Also featuring a special appearance from fan-favourite Raj!

From Number One bestselling author David Walliams comes this collection of wickedly funny, deliciously mischievous tales.

thank you for this book

I really like the book because it is quite funny, although one feels real. Like at the end of the girl who tried to get her brother in trouble.(I forgot her name)

Really good 👍

I really love this book. Some a bit gory and not suitable for some children in my opinion but altogether amazing, brilliantly preformed and loads more. My favs are probably Charlie Chucker, Sofia Sofa and Bubbling Bertha. I love it in Charlie Chucker when Gemma gets her revenge! Her laugh is so evil!

The world’s worst children

A lot of the stories had slightly gory ends but not all.
I think petula might have had ADHD.
