Worst in Show

William Bee celebrates every kind of monster – warts and all! – in this hilarious, raucous tale about competition, friendship and finding your own unique place in the world. Albert is entering his pet monster, Sidney, in…THE BEST PET MONSTER IN THE WORLD COMPETITION! And he has VERY high hopes, Sidney, however, is a rather gentle monster, who enjoys long soaks in bubble-filled baths while nibbling on some sugary fairy cakes. And a champion monster has to be, well, MONSTROUS to win – they must be able to FLY, FULL of PARASITES, super SMELLY, extremely WARTY and FIERCELY FIRE-BREATHING! Round after round, Sidney tries his hardest, but Albert soon begins to realise that Sidney’s best talent might not be a very ‘monstrous’ one after all…Kate Hindley’s illustration debut to the Walker picture book list brings William Bee’s warm-hearted comedy to life with sensational verve and wit! It features an action-packed full-bleed gatefold. With ever-calamitous (and gross!) competition scenarios and lots of witty one-liners, this original and inventive picture book is destined to belong in all collections!
