Oh no! The Baddies are coming! They’re the meanest and nastiest ghost, witch, and troll in all the land, and they just love being bad. When a little girl moves into a nearby cottage, the Baddies can’t wait to scare her out of her wits — but which one will get to do it? They quickly launch into a competition to prove which of them is the WORST Baddie, which they'll prove by stealing the girls handkerchief. But little girls are much braver than they thought, and baddies don’t always win... It turns out that smarts, kindness, and compassion are stronger than any baddie out there!
From the creators of Room on the Broom and The Snail and the Whale comes a perfect read-aloud tale for anyone who loves stories where evil doers get their comeuppance, and where Mighty Girls prove that they can overcome anything!
"Its message is that kindness — and smarts, too (the girl soundly outwits her would-be enemies) — overcomes evil intentions. The colorful, lively illustrations are filled with witty details, and the baddies are more comically blustery than scary.... A fun, rollicking 'baddie' story that’s welcome anytime." — Kirkus Reviews
