4 authors picked The Bad Guys as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is fun, easy to read, has lots of characters, and the author gives each one a distinctive voice. He’s always asking for the next in the series.
The Bad Guys series which chronicles the adventures of some stereotypically dangerous animals trying to do good and save the world pulled me in from page one.
You have humor (especially around bodily functions which always gets a giggle) and well-developed characters that are oftentimes naughty but incredibly likable. In the first episode, the book has been broken down into manageable chapters, the dialogue is not too lengthy and the high-paced illustrations communicate action and humor perfectly.
Young readers will certainly feel accomplished after completing this 144-page graphic novel.
From Chrissie's list on graphic reads for young reluctant readers.
This is the first book in the series and what a series it is!
Super funny and I love the illustration style. This one is easy to read not too many words on the page but that doesn’t stop it from having a big personality and lots of action!
From Kate's list on hilarious animal characters.
They may look like bad guys or even smell like bad guys - but this crew of animal predators (Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, and Mr. Piranha) are trying their best to change that negative perception. This series by Aaron Blabey is a wonderful introduction to the graphic novel format. It’s easy to read, fully illustrated, has lovable characters, and has an action-packed storyline. I love how Aaron flips the script and makes the bad guys the actual heroes.
