A little Halloweeny and a lot of fun, this picture book of three "baddies" (a witch, a troll, and a ghost) is great to read aloud. This fantastic activity book is based on the brilliant new picture book The Baddies, by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

Kids seem to be drawn to stories about bad guys and scary things, probably because they don't yet understand the "why" behind them. The drawings as ever are full of characterful mischief and children will find much to see in them - a Gruffalo lurking on a page, for example.
