The World’s Worst Parents, from Children’s author David Walliams.

Are you ready to meet the worst parents ever? Sure, some parents are embarrassing – but they’re NOTHING on this lot. These ten tales of the world’s most spectacularly silly mums and deliriously daft dads will leave you rocking with laughter. Pinch your nose for Peter Pong, the man with the stinkiest feet in the world… jump out of the way of Harriet Hurry, the fastest mum on two wheels… watch out for Monty Monopolize, the dad who takes all his kids’ toys… and oh no, it’s Supermum! Brandishing a toilet brush, a mop and a very bad homemade outfit…

I liked this book because it was funny but my favourite part was when the boy's dad got buried under the bricko, the million piece Earth set. And the boys made a house from the broken piece Earth set and their dad only got a small shed from these.

Personally, I don't think these parents are the world's worst parents. Their actions and attitude are what make them worse. My best story is the Posy Pooch as she loves dogs and wants are children to love dogs as well.

I love the book it's about parents that do weird things to their children and they are crazy that's why it's called the World's worst parents. I love all the David Walliams books they're so entertaining and when I have to stop reading I stop about 10 minutes later!

David Walliams's books are always fun to read. This book was especially fun because of the stories of horrible parents. I recommend this book to everyone who likes to read stories that seems impossible but possible.

It wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I would have preferred it as more of a story, rather than a list of terrible parents. It was okay but I don't think I would have finished it if I hadn't been reading it for the reading challenge.

I liked that Peter Pong uses his foot cheese for his daughters food competition. I did like the 'super Mum's story. I didn't like a lot of the stories and they weren't that exciting.
