## Description

The World’s Worst Parents: David Walliams : Walliams, David, Ross, Tony: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: As described - Great present and a good laugh thanks
Review: Made a little girl very happy - My eight year old daughter had been asking me for this book for several days, having read the others in the series. I finally gave in and ordered it whilst with her, just before bed on a Friday night. By the time I had arrived home from football with her elder sister on Saturday, it had already arrived - with her mum saying how ecstatic she was when it came through the door! (To be honest, it was a bit of a relief for us to see her so wholeheartedly engage in these books as she largely skipped the early reading stage - showing little interest in reading up until now.) And I have to confess to reading a few of these books myself.!!! They are fun and witty and engaging in a way that allows children to read without feeling at all like it is a chore. My daughter is currently devouring them all, as did her sister some time ago. I notice also how she is captivated by the pictures, carefully taking them in, before she proceeds with the story on the page! Would definitely recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honoured to be in the book, but the author has not cross-referenced his sources
*by D***. on 11 August 2020*

Yes I prominently feature in this book. I’m now officially one of the worst parents ever. My children frequently told me so already. The youngest, six years old, when in anger never wastes a chance to shout that I’ve totally ruined his life. I won’t be specific but now the author of this impressive work of reference, Mr Walliams, has used my unique parental profile under an alias. He based this on interviews with my children and their friends. I will not deny this. And given that I have very little other qualities, there is even a little bit of pride to have made it to the top ranks. The only thing is that, while it is all true, many details have been omitted. For example the author, forgets to mention that my children are equally horrible and both make an appearance in Volume One of his work on The Worst Children Ever. Also as a proper journalist Mr Walliams has not cross-referenced his sources. Personally I would have had a slightly different take on things and could have provided more background or justification for my behaviour. Personally I think this is a case of cause and effect and my notorious behaviour as a parent is only a natural reaction to my little angels' unforgivable exploits and to how they manage to get under my skin all-the-time.
