The Bad Guys (The Bad Guys, #1)
by
That's right, and Mr. Wolf is sick of being a bad guy. He's through with it, and he's taking you, along with a few of his buddies (Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark and Mr. Piranha) along with him on the path of goodness. Sure, they may be scary, but they'll be nice guys whether you like it or not.
I recently took my daughter to see the movie The Bad Guys and she absolutely loved it. Now, my daughter is four and as anyone who has ever interacted with a child of that age can vouch for me, if they love something, they obsess over it. They'll randomly start talking about it, pretend to be one of the characters at random and expect you to follow along and overall just want more of it.
Seeing a copy of the first book I decided to give it a shot and see if this helped ease some of the desire to watch the movie every five minutes.
Now the book is a little different from the film as it has less of the characters (possibly introduced in a latter book?), different designs and starts with them already on the path to goodness. Still, many of the jokes are the same and it very much has the same sense of humor. The book is cute and a great read for younger children, seeing these obvious "bad guys" trying so hard to be good.
Plus, the book/movie have some obvious nods to things like Reservoir Dogs and heist movies, and as someone who loves the crime genre in cinema, I personally find that great. 4/5 stars
