The Baddies (PB)

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.

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

Witzige Geschichte mit tollem Hintergrund. Nicht nur die Kleinen, sonder auch die Grossen mögen sie sehr

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!
