I pre-ordered this book as she loves the "World's Worst Collection" and has re-read the books over and over again. This one is no different! She read if over a couple of days and loves it as much as the others.
Arrived on the release date and in great condition.

I’m now officially one of the worst parents ever.
My children frequently told me so already.
The youngest, six years old, when in anger never wastes a chance to shout that I’ve totally ruined his life.
I won’t be specific but now the author of this impressive work of reference, Mr Walliams, has used my unique parental profile under an alias.
He based this on interviews with my children and their friends. I will not deny this. And given that I have very little other qualities, there is even a little bit of pride to have made it to the top ranks.
The only thing is that, while it is all true, many details have been omitted. For example the author, forgets to mention that my children are equally horrible and both make an appearance in Volume One of his work on The Worst Children Ever.
Also as a proper journalist Mr Walliams has not cross-referenced his sources. Personally I would have had a slightly different take on things and could have provided more background or justification for my behaviour. Personally I think this is a case of cause and effect and my notorious behaviour as a parent is only a natural reaction to my little angels' unforgivable exploits and to how they manage to get under my skin all-the-time.

My 10 year old son was less impressed, he just said it was ok, but it takes a lot to impress this grumpy pre teen
