    • Great book set
Format: Paperback
These books are so enjoyable, my children loved reading them. I also loved reading them, it allowed me to be very animated while reading to them, and cause me to laugh when I read them alone. Great books for any age, for anyone who loves to laugh.

Books 1-5 introduce readers to the main characters and set the stage for their hilarious and action-packed escapades. Book 1: The Bad Guys Plot: The series begins by introducing Mr. Wolf, Mr. Shark, Mr. Snake, and Mr. Piranha—four "bad guys" who decide to change their ways and become heroes. Despite their fearsome reputations, they set out to do good deeds, leading to humorous and chaotic situations. Themes: The book explores themes of redemption, friendship, and the idea that everyone deserves a second chance. Humor: The witty dialogue and funny situations are engaging for young readers, making it an enjoyable read.

Character Development: The characters' personalities begin to shine through, with each member contributing uniquely to the mission. Illustrations: The dynamic and expressive illustrations add to the humor and excitement, making the story visually engaging. Book 3: The Furball Strikes Back Plot: The Bad Guys face their arch-nemesis, Dr. Marmalade, a nefarious guinea pig. Their mission to thwart his evil plans is filled with unexpected twists and hilarious moments. Action and Suspense: This installment ramps up the action and introduces elements of suspense, keeping readers on the edge of their seats. Humor and Wit: The clever humor continues to be a highlight, appealing to both kids and adults. Book 4: Attack of the Zittens Plot: The gang encounters a new threat—zombie kittens (Zittens). Their attempts to deal with this bizarre situation lead to a series of funny and unpredictable events. Creativity: The introduction of Zittens showcases Blabey's creativity and ability to keep the series fresh and exciting. Character Dynamics: The interactions among the characters become more nuanced, deepening the readers' connection to them. Book 5: Intergalactic Gas Plot: The Bad Guys' latest adventure takes them to outer space, where they must stop a villainous plot involving alien gas. The high-stakes mission combines humor, action, and a touch of science fiction. World-Building: The space setting adds a new dimension to the series, expanding its scope and offering new storytelling opportunities. Educational Elements: While primarily humorous, the book also introduces some basic science concepts in a fun way. Pros and Cons Pros: Engaging and humorous storytelling Quirky and likable characters Fast-paced plots with plenty of action and adventure Visually appealing illustrations Positive messages about friendship and redemption Cons: Some humor might be too silly for older readers The formulaic structure might feel repetitive over multiple books Conclusion "The Bad Guys" books 1-5 offer a delightful mix of humor, adventure, and heartwarming moments.

    • A great intro to the Bad Guys book series
Format: Paperback
Great value on a collection of books my 7 year old enjoyed reading with me. A good way to get started on the series. The books can go fast if your child is a good reader, and having a few of them allowed him to keep going once he was done. His older sister also snuck these to read and seemed to enjoy them. ... show more

    • Great Set for My 8yo
Format: Paperback
I looked at buying these used from a different seller - the total was approximately $30+ for the set of "used" books with acceptable quality rating. Checked Amazon and was pleased to see a NEW set for 1/2 the price. They came in a box and shrink wrapped. No issues with packaging or bent corners, etc. Great gift for my son whose been going through books like crazy. ... show more

    • Easy beginner reading level, minimal words per page
Format: Paperback
My five year old grandson, who cried when he opened these, ( because he didn’t want books for Christmas) devoured the whole set in a day and a half! He loved them! I will say that there is minimal words to read on the pages, which might be a great thing for a very early reader. Definitely beneath his reading level, but humorous and held his attention. ... show more
