DONALDSON, JULIA / SCHEFFLER, AXEL
"Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler are the Lennon and McCartney
of children's publishing" Sunday Times The brand-new
picture book from superstar author and illustrator Julia Donaldson
and Axel Scheffler is a riot of slapstick fun and silliness.
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.
Perfect read-aloud rhyming text and stunning pictures on every
page with lots of details to spot
Julia and Axel are the team that have created picture book favourites
such as The Gruffalo, Stick Man, Zog
and Highway Rat - all of which have been made into
animated films premiering on BBC1 Christmas Day.
The Smeds and the Smoos is on BBC One at Christmas
with voice artists including Bill Bailey (comedian and
Strictly winner), Adjoa Andoh (Bridgerton), Sally Hawkins (Paddington
movies) and Rob Brydon (Gavin and Stacey).
