The Baddies

As with all Julia Donaldson books a firm favorite with the grandchildren and the rhyming story is easy to read and make the story come alive My 3yr old grandson loves being read to and loves to follow the story in the great illustrations/pictures. 6yr old enjoys reading to younger siblings as does the 9 yr old who knows them off by heart but puts her own expression onto the story as she retells to younger kids.

This has quickly become my two year olds favourite Julia Donaldson book! It’s so fun to read out loud and I am yet to get sick of reading it again and again and again. It’s become a bedtime staple

I bought this as used like new. It arrived and really is excellent. I wouldn’t know that it wasn’t new. The story is excellent. Really amusing and my grandson who is three loved it. It’s pretty much a story of a witch, a ghost and a troll who want to scare a little girl and how that doesn’t really go to plan for them. Good wins over the baddies. The illustrations are wonderful and the rhyming verse flows well. It’s actually a real pleasure to read to my grandson and he was captivated. A great book and I’d definitely recommend. I’m happy to read this again and again which is exactly what happened!

Good story, nice illustrations

Brought for my nephew birthday

My son loves this book

Brilliant

Good book

Una maravilla de libro, como todo lo que hacen estos dos autores: Donaldson y Scheffler. Como maestro de inglés seguro que lo utilizaré en mis clases.

of all the Donaldson/Scheffler production this seems mostly an equality and diversity tick-boxing exercise, where the story and the text fail to reach previous levels of achievement. As if all of a sudden a black female protagonist was to make up for some past misrepresentation. All the previous ones have offered mostly with animals characters a fair share that kids need to learn about their world and some future pearls of wisdom...this seems a bit forced by the market, albeit its excellent illustrations.

Easy to read, great rhythm, interesting and fun. This author writes excellent children's books, and is a favorite of ours.

We love all her books. This one is as great as many other books of Julia's.

I chose this book for my granddaughter, aged 5, mainly because her mum (my daughter) requested it. I haven’t read it as my family live in Germany and I’m in the UK. My granddaughter loves stories and, apparently, it went very well.
