The Worst Book Ever
by Elise Gravel
Kids' Book of the Week , May 27, 2019
A dull romance between a nose-picking princess (sorry, "prinsess") named Barbarotte and a hot-dog-loving prince (sorry, "prinse") named Putrick that includes soft-drink product placement and an "it was just a dream!" ending? It might indeed be the Worst Book Ever, so thank goodness Elise Gravel, creator of, among other delights, the Disgusting Critters series, has included three characters (a spider, some sort of a black smudge, and something that looks like a cross between a poop emoji and gefilte fish) to express their own disdain for the story, which should make this a goofy pleasure for readers just learning they can have their own opinions about books too. (Ages 4 to 8)
