David Walliams Collection 3 Books Set

David Walliams Collection gathers three short-story books, each made up of ten fast-paced tales. The stories centre on teachers, parents and pets who are presented as anything but ordinary, with exaggerated characters and chaotic situations across the set.

From sinister school staff and furious detentions to embarrassing family antics and a cast of “craziest creatures”, the collection leans into outrageous humour and larger-than-life ideas. Pets range from oddly talented to outright monstrous, while mums, dads and teachers are portrayed in wildly comic scenarios.

Synopses

The World’s Worst Teachers

Ten tales introduce a line-up of “splendidly sinister” teachers, including Dr Dread, a science teacher who is half man and half monster. The stories also feature Miss Seethe on a detention rampage and Mr Phobe, who is terrified of children.

The World’s Worst Parents

This set of ten stories features “spectacularly silly” mums and “deliriously daft” dads. Characters include Peter Pong with the stinkiest feet, Harriet Hurry speeding on two wheels, Monty Monopolize who takes all his kids’ toys, and Supermum with a toilet brush, a mop and a homemade outfit.

The World’s Worst Pets

Ten tales spotlight chaotic animals, from Houdini the magician’s rabbit and Zoom the supersonic tortoise to Griselda the grizzly bear with a secret. The collection also includes Furp, a monstrous goldfish, alongside pets described as supervillains and creatures of extreme size and appetite.
