Humbert the hungry baby. Cruel Clarissa. Harry,who never ever did his homework.
From that custodian of calamity,that nurturer of naughtiness David Walliams,we present the The World's Worst Children 2,his second compendium of untold misbehaviour that will have you reeling in disbelief.
Not since,well,David's original The World's Worst Children of last year,have we seen such an appalling rogue's gallery of unprecedented misdemeanour.
Only someone who knows everything could have such knowledge. We're simply appalled by the behaviour in this book - our tears reading it definitely not of hysteria,but of incredulous indignation - and it's our duty to make sure no child should be exposed to its horrors.
Any booksellers found reading it and holding their sides with laughter will get the sternest talking to (as soon as we've finished reading it ourselves!).
Illustrated once again by David's usual artist-in-arms Tony Ross,no detail,no stone of appalling activity is left unturned. Every terrible aspect is recorded by Tony's gimlet eye,strictly to ensure no-one tries to mimic the ghastly goings-on within. You have been warned!

PRAISE FOR THE WORLD'S WORST CHILDREN:
"This really is Walliams at his most indulgently gross and silly - the perfect combination for thousands of his loyal fans... stunningly illustrated by Ross who captures the energy and chaos of the stories."- Daily Mail
"Laugh-out-loud funny and...downright disgusting"- Daily Express
"Often described as the modern-day Roald Dahl,Walliams is a big author with big ideas and plenty of illustrations,all combining to make for real page-turners,even for kids who would normally look at you as if you're mad to suggest reading for pleasure."- The Independent
