David Walliams Collection 4 Books Set (The Worlds Worst Teachers, The Worlds Worst Parents, The Worlds Worst Pets, The Worlds Worst Monsters)

This four-book David Walliams collection brings together stories from the World’s Worst series, featuring ten tales in each of The World’s Worst Teachers, The World’s Worst Parents and The World’s Worst Pets, plus The World’s Worst Monsters [HB]. The set introduces a line-up of sinister teachers, spectacularly silly parents and outrageous pets, each presented through short, punchy tales.

From Dr Dread, a science teacher who is half man and half monster, to the furious Miss Seethe on a detention rampage, the teachers are memorably dreadful. The parents include Peter Pong with the stinkiest feet in the world, Harriet Hurry on two wheels, Monty Monopolize who takes all his kids’ toys, and Supermum with a toilet brush, a mop and a very bad homemade outfit. The pets range from Houdini the magician’s rabbit and Zoom the supersonic tortoise to Furp, the monstrous goldfish. The final hardback asks if you dare enter the world of monsters, with ghosts, ogres, zombies, vampires, aliens, werewolves and mummies.

Synopses

The World’s Worst Teachers

Ten tales introduce a group of “splendidly sinister” teachers. Meet Dr Dread, a science teacher who is half man and half monster, the ghastly Miss Seethe who is always furious and on a detention rampage, and Mr Phobe, who is terrified of children.

The World’s Worst Parents

Ten tales focus on spectacularly silly mums and deliriously daft dads. The stories include Peter Pong with the stinkiest feet in the world, Harriet Hurry, the fastest mum on two wheels, Monty Monopolize who takes all his kids’ toys, and Supermum with a toilet brush, a mop and a very bad homemade outfit.

The World’s Worst Pets

Ten tales feature a collection of “craziest creatures”, from good pets to supervillain pets and animals as big as a house. Highlights include Houdini the magician’s rabbit, Zoom the supersonic tortoise, Griselda the grizzly bear with a big secret, and Furp, the monstrous goldfish.

The World's Worst Monsters [HB]

This hardback entry invites readers into the world of monsters. It follows earlier books in the series and warns those who do not like ghosts, ogres, zombies, vampires, aliens, werewolves or mummies not to read.
