The World’s Worst Children

Are you ready to meet the World’s Worst Children?

From Dribbling Drew – a boy whose drool gets him into terrible trouble – to Sofia Sofa – a TV super-fan so stuck to the sofa that she’s turning into one! – the uproariously funny cast of characters will delight David Walliams’ readers.

A wickedly funny and wonderfully surreal collection of ten stories about ten delightfully dreadful children, THE WORLD'S WORST CHILDREN is David Walliams’ unique take on the classic cautionary tale.

This momentous new addition to the David Walliams canon is illustrated in spectacular technicolour by the inimitable Tony Ross and published in a glorious hardback gift edition. The collection is also available in e-book and audio, with the story hilariously performed by the author himself.

As an extra special treat, fan favourite Raj even makes a hilarious appearance!

THE WORLD'S WORST CHILDREN is available now in hardback, audio download and ebook.
