Most bad books are happy hanging out at rummage sales. Not this bad book. Its goal is to be featured in its library’s Banned Books List. Problem is, no one seems to notice… until the book teams up with its boisterous readers. Together, the book and its readers shout, sing, and wiggle their way into the attention of a local librarian. Will the book see its cover on the library wall… or will it end up in the recycling bin? Full of bold, colorful graphics and laugh-out-loud humor, The Worst Book Ever is another high-lo book for reluctant readers by Beth Bacon. Uses meta-storytelling and interactivity to get kids laughing, dancing, shouting—and reading. Ideal for read-alouds, story time, as well as independent reading for children who are beginning to intermediate reluctant readers. Like Beth Bacon’s other books, I Hate Reading, The Book No One Wants To Read,and Blank Space, this book helps make reading fun.

Industry Reviews

This is one bad book, but no ordinary bad book! Beth Bacon’s The Worst Book Ever hooks kids on the pure joy of weird words, made-up words and LOUD words. Perfect for any kid who has trouble reading, the eye-popping graphic design works perfectly with the sly, rebellious text to make a loudly subversive rallying cry to enjoy books and libraries just for fun. And maybe get an encouraging eye roll from a librarian. This book should be banned! After I read it again. —Dana Sullivan, author of My Red Velvet Cape

I'm in the Worst Book Fan Club! This book is BAD and that's what makes it RAD! — Cate Berry, author of Penguin and Tiny Shrimp Don't Do Bedtime

Watch out! The Worst Book Ever might just lead to the best story time ever! This book might want to be bad, but it's so, so good! Hilarious and jam-packed with fun for all little listeners, from still to squirmy! — Will Taylor, author of Maggie & Abby's Neverending Pillow Fort
