Le pire livre du monde (The Worst Book Ever)

  • ISBN 9781443176057, Paperback
  • 48 Pages | Ages 4 - 10

As the world’s most boring tale unfolds, a trio of skeptical creatures beg to change the narrative!

A brave prince and a beautiful princess meet. The princess is attacked by a monster, and the prince defeats the monster. The prince and the princess fall in love, and all is well in the kingdom. But not everyone is happy!

A spider, a dust bunny and a blob read along as this tired tale is told, sharing their astute and funny insights on all that makes the story absurd. They roll their eyes at the gender stereotypes, shake their heads at the lack of diversity, and gasp at the spelling errors. And they are nearly bored to death by the excruciating, slow plot line.

Although readers can walk away, these poor self-aware creatures are stuck in the book. But they are determined to make the most of it, or at least have a little fun trying!
