Product Description

Hattie was bad. Really bad. When I say bad, I don't just mean forget-to-tidy-her-room, reading-comics-after-bedtime kind of bad. No, she was SO bad, no-one was allowed to play with her. But it's no fun being bad on your own, is it? So, she becomes Hattie the Good. Good Hattie tidies her room and goes to bed early. But nobody likes a goody-two shoes now, do they?! In the most hilarious moment in a picture book EVER, Hattie rebels in spectacular fashion and reverts to being bad . . . for good!

Customer Reviews

so you only have friends if you are bad?
The message in this book is that if you get along with teachers and parents and try your best at school, you are a "goody two shoes" and will have no friends. You only get friends and admiration from your peers by being deliberately disruptive.?????!!!! I hope the kids who read this don't take this message too much on board or they will mess their lives up rather badly.

Hattie the Bad
I bought this book for my 6 year old nephew and he loves it. He found it particularly amusing when at the end Hattie shouts "Knickers", he couldn't stop laughing and as soon as I finished reading the book to him he wanted me to read it again! I would thoroughly recommed this book for young children as the illustrations are also superb which captures their imagination.

KNICKERS!!
I love this book - it is a simple story with new undertones which reveal themselves each time you read it...

Also, loving the illustrations of her toes - perfect my 7 year old nephew assures me!!
