SO I’m stood on a stage in front of the whole school, I’ve got soggy noodles on my head AND MY MUM IS SINGING IN A TUTU

Beth is back for another hilarious adventure. And with her school talent show, Dad’s karaoke superstardom, Mum teaching at her school AND a potentially evil childminder, life is messier than ever!

Perfect for reluctant readers and fans of TOM GATES, BADLY DRAWN BETH book 1 won the 2016 Lollies award for funniest book for 6-8 year olds.

You can’t fail to laugh – at the story and at the wonderful illustrations which so superbly echo what is happening (Parents In Touch)

Life is messier and more embarrassing than ever for Beth, as she takes to the stage for the school talent show. (Little London Magazine)

The illustrations in this book are the highlight for me — it is packed full of pictures which help you to imagine he funny situations (Ayla Lee Inci, aged 8 Kidaround Magazine (North essex))

The story is sprinkled throughout with truly funny illustrations that will have most children laughing out loud. The final scene at the talent contest is hysterical with roller skates tutus and Chinese noodles. Well worth a read if you need a good laugh (School Librarian)

It is a fiction book and it was about performing and teamwork. My favourite character is probably Beth because she is always happy ( well most of the time) My favourite part of the book is when Beth and her best friend start to spy on their babysitter. I would recommend this book to my gymnastics friend

I enjoyed this book because it was funny and I'm sure a lot of children could relate to Beth. My favourite character was Cordy (Cordelia) because she was always making up stories that "supposedly" happened to her!

What did I enjoy about this book is a massive question to me because if I wrote down exactly every part that had me laugh or giggle I would be writing this for days and the box probably wont stretch that far! So I guess that I will probably have to shorten all of it into a couple of lines. Well anyway read carefully because now I am going to give you the best book review ever. Here goes... I loved how it felt like as if I was sucked into the book because for starters everything that the main character (Beth) did it felt as if I had done that before and it brought back so many memories of me, my family and my friends. It also I could feel all of the emotions that Beth could and one time I actually found myself sweating because I was sooo intrigued to find out what would happen next. I couldn't put the book down so I ended up reading and reading so at the end of the day I had already finished my book! I hope you enjoyed reading my review and I cant wait to get my medal!

This book is so funny, everything goes wrong as usual! Full of laughs and giggles this is like a comedy routine. I'd recommend this book to people who like it when there is a dilemma but it's not serious, just makes you laugh!
