About the Author

David Walliams – comedian, actor and author – continues to take the children's literary world by storm. His tenth novel, BAD DAD, was an immediate number one, following the triumph of THE MIDNIGHT GANG, the biggest-selling children's book of 2016. WORLD'S WORST CHILDREN 2, which published in early 2017, spent four weeks at industry number one and eight weeks at the top of the children's chart. They have achieved unprecedented critical acclaim – and RATBURGER, DEMON DENTIST and AWFUL AUNTIE have all won the National Book Awards Children's Book of the Year. David's books have now exceeded 100 non-consecutive weeks in the children's number-one spot, and have been translated into 53 languages, selling more than 32 million copies worldwide.

Born in London, Tony Ross went to art school in Liverpool. His cartoons have appeared in famous publications the world over. His first book, HUGO AND THE WICKED WINTER, was published in 1972. Tony has since written over 100 books and illustrated over 2000! His creations Towser and The Little Princess have been turned into TV series.

From the Publisher

This summer, children get their own back!

David Walliams is BACK with ten brand new, hilariously horrid tales of the most repulsive parents ever!

Belinda Brag just can't stop boasting, and she's about to talk herself into trouble. Posy Pooch is so obsessed with her pet dog that she dresses her daughter up as a Dalmatian! And what about Miss Tutelage? Is there anything more embarrassing than your mum also being your teacher?!

The perfect gift for children this summer, The World's Worst Parents are stampeding onto bookshelves now; don't miss out on the best boredom-busting stories of the year!


Peter Pong, the dad with the stinkiest feet!	Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Supermum!	Barry Bovver, the dad who is not the brightest spark!	Harriet Hurry, the mother with a need for speed!

Cool

It was pretty cool but I was kinda thinking it could maybe be a bit longer. It could also have a bit more detail in the pictures as they just kinda seem like scribbled and maybe and a bit more photos as words just get quite boring. ɓựʈ I ƚɵʋɛ ɨʈ

Other than that, AMAZING I ƚɵʋɛ ɨʈ

This review is for the latest book by DW... The World’s Worst Parents. DW has written so many great books and this one does not disappoint. I purchased on preorder and it arrived today. I have been reading all day and just completed.. loved it. I was reading to my daughter and she also found it hilarious and gripping. Some many funny moments and just such a well written book.

The book is hard back and has some great illustrations in colour. It’s currently on at an excellent price of £6.50.. well worth it!

Would seriously recommend for kids and grown up’s.. a great read.

Update: Seems like a few people have had issue with cover of the box being creased etc. Just to advise mine was absolutely fine.

I don't know about the contents of a book but received it damaged as shown on the photos. Very disappointed. Especially, as I PRE-ORDERED it.

A must for all David Walliams fans

My 10-year-old daughter has been reading ALL the David Walliams books over lockdown, she still has to finish Grandad's Great Escape and The Beast of Buckingham Palace.

I pre-ordered this book as she loves the "World's Worst Collection" and has re-read the books over and over again. This one is no different! She read if over a couple of days and loves it as much as the others.

Arrived on the release date and in great condition.
