The Baddies Early Reader

"Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler
are the Lennon and McCartney of children's publishing" Sunday
Times

The
Baddies are the meanest, nastiest ghost, witch and troll in the
land.

They just adore being bad, and fight over
who is the worst.

When a little girl moves into a nearby
cottage, the Baddies can’t wait to scare her out of her wits.

But the little girl quickly shows them that you don’t
have to be big to be brave, and baddies don’t always
win.
