Book Description
A Best Children's Book of the Month from the New York Times bestselling author of the Goodnight Already! series This is a book about a bad seed. A baaaaaaaaaad seed. How bad? Do you really want to know? He has a bad temper, bad manners, and a bad attitude. He's been bad since he can remember! This seed cuts in line every time, stares at everybody and never listens. But what happens when one mischievous little seed changes his mind about himself, and decides that he wants to be-happy? With Jory John's charming and endearing text and bold expressive illustrations by Pete Oswald, here is The Bad Seed: a funny yet touching tale that reminds us of the remarkably transformative power of will, acceptance, and just being you. Perfect for readers young and old, The Bad Seed proves that positive change is possible for each and every one of us.
Editorial Review
The best read-aloud book of the year...Seriously. -- Mel schuit, let's talk picture books (blog) "this is kid-book humor at its best, both warmhearted and frisky-the kind that leaves adults, too, cracking up and grateful." -- New york times book review "this is a story that opens up dialogue about our reactions to life experiences, the consequences of our choices, and the chance to make a change for the better." -- School library journal (starred review) "this charmingly illustrated book would be a comical read-aloud and useful for class or family discussions about manners, behavior, and reputation." -- School library journal (starred review) "young readers will find the list of all the seed's offenses amusing, and the illustration of the flies and stench surrounding him (he never washes his hands or feet) is sure to elicit laughter." -- School library journal (starred review) "even the very youngest can follow along as the pictures provide evidence of the seed's bad behavior and the reactions of those around him." -- School library journal (starred review) "john gives the seed a sympathetic backstory (packaged as a snack food, he barely escaped being eaten) that, along with his eventual determination to change his stripes, should keep readers engaged." -- Publishers weekly "working in digitized watercolors, oswald makes this antihero's angst vivid and touching, and the world the seed moves in-a metropolis populated by seeds that include peanuts, coconuts, and corn kernels-adds a playful counterpoint of background detail and comedy." -- Publishers weekly "the watercolor illustrations provide plenty of comic effect." -- Booklist "young readers will enjoy watching the dramatic seed intimidate his nervous neighbors, and might not even realize they're learning a lesson about good behavior in the process." -- Booklist "oswald's illustrations of seeds, legumes and nuts match john's silly, appealing story." -- St. Louis post-dispatch
