A cast of 'bad guys' attempt to clean up their reputations by doing good . . . with questionable success. Mr. Wolf thinks he and his friends – Mr. Shark, Mr. Piranha, and Mr. Snake – are misunderstood, but things get wacky when he attempts to get them some good press for once. This quick chapter...

Add a CommentTo be honest, I'm not usually a fan of chapter books that have lots of illustrations and very little character development. I had low expectations for The Bad Guys, but I'm happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised — impressed even — when I found this book to be so thoroughly entertaining. It's so full of humor that I was smiling or laughing at every single page. With 144 pages that are chock full of illustrations, it is a quick read. It could even be read in an afternoon. This makes it an EXCELLENT option for reluctant readers. I would also recommend it to anyone interested in a fun, lighthearted story, no matter what their typical genre preference is. It's a wonderfully entertaining story that I think anyone would enjoy. And the best part is, if you enjoy this one, there are 11 more books in the series just waiting to be read!

An excellent series full of silliness and humour. Perfect for kids transitioning from picture books to chapter books.
This is one of my all-time favorite series. It's a great choice for reluctant readers that enjoy humor and silliness.

For 2nd grade reading
The shark is really the cutest thing ever.
Mr. Wolf (of Big Bad fame) is tired of being known for being... well, bad. He brings in a pack of his friends (a piranha, snake, and shark) to join him on a new venture: creating “The Good Guys Club”! Each member is introduced with their rap sheet of crimes and is eventually convinced to join the Wolf on a mission. Though rescuing a cat from a tree doesn’t exactly go smoothly, the group moves on to Wolf’s grand plan: saving 200 dogs from the pound! Energetic, playful writing and illustrations make this book really fun to read aloud. Reluctant readers and fans of Captain Underpants will love this creative, wacky series. Great for readers ages 6-10.
amazing!!! five stars!!!!
Bad guys trying to be good guys trying to be bad guys. Are you confused. Read it and laugh.
