This is an easy, silly and funny book. It’s a little young for me but I’ve read it to my 7 year old brother and he loves it.

This book is aimed at children (the 7 and 10 year olds in our family loved it), but I honestly enjoyed it just as much as they did. It reminded me a little bit of The Bash Street Kids comics, all good innocent fun.

A lovely book for key stage 2 children. Full of humour and silliness that children will love. A quick read and easy to follow.

I really enjoyed this book and got really into it. I think my students would like it because it is about school but also about kids who don't always follow the rules.

We liked how there were two separate stories, however even though separate, they were structured the same. The book itself was very funny and we read it in one go.

Would recommend to everyone.

My 8 year old loved. This. I read it to them in one sitting. They all wanted more. They also liked the quizzes at the end that made them feel more part of the story

In this book, the worst class cause mayhem having a biscuit competition seeing who can make the best however as they anger their headmistress especially at show and tell when pets are taken in chaos ensues!



This was a fun book that kids who enjoyed Wigglesbottom Primary by Pamela Butchart will also enjoy packed full of chaos challenges, and quirky classmates I'm sure they're going to be more chaotic adventures ahead!



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

This funny and brilliantly illustrated book is destined to popular with lower KS2 children, especially fans of Horrid Henry or Dirty Bertie. Stanley and Manjit are in 4b, which according to their head teacher is the worst class in the world. So when Stanley and Manjit's foolproof plans go horribly wrong, from making the whole class sick to causing chaos during show and tell, Mrs Bottomley-Blunt takes this as proof. Joanna Nadin introduces us to an endearing cast of characters sure to the beginning of a successful series of books. I'm looking forward to sharing this in school and I will definitely be recommending it.

4B may be the WORST CLASS IN THE WORLD but this is the BEST new funny book I've read this year. It is LITERALLY amazing. So amazing that I swallowed the book in one big gulp. It's got some right old characters and they're so authentic you can totally imagine meeting them and hearing them speak. It's fast-paced, fun, and packed full of high jinks and the most hilarious artwork EVER.

NEXT BOOK, PLEASE!

This is LITERALLY the funniest book I've read this year!

Fabulous cast of characters, brilliant pace and energetic illustrations. What more could you want?

My 9 year old daughter enjoyed reading this book and loved that the characters were able to bring their pets into school. She liked all the characters in the story and she wanted there to be more books in the series.

The Worst Class in the World written by Joanna Nadin and illustrated by Rikin Parekh is a laugh out loud collection of crazy school adventures. According to their headteacher, Mrs Bottomley-Blunt, Class 4B is LITERALLY the worst class in not just the school, but in the entire world. They spend most of their time coming up with madcap schemes and breaking every rule in the book. Despite never being as good as 4A, the class wouldn’t have it any other way. They thoroughly enjoy every silly escapade and work their socks off trying to come up with the next FOOL PROOF PLAN.

The introduction and two stand alone stories that make up this entertaining book are full of all the things Year 4 children find impressive: food, burps, sick, unusual objects, challenges, keeping secrets from the teachers and being the best at everything. The result is a fast-paced, enjoyable read overflowing with giggles and thoughts of which real life children these loveable characters remind us. Mrs Bottomley-Blunt’s list of rules is fantastic! As a teacher, I can just imagine the conversations with children that caused each new rule to come into being. When children have an excuse for everything, teachers have to make sure all bases are covered!

The Worst Class in the World reminds me of the Miss Nelson books from my childhood (Harry Allard and James Marshall). The kids in Room 207 are so awful that when their teacher is poorly, they have the sternest, strictest supply teacher ever! Miss Viola Swamp comes to teach them a lesson and they soon realise how much they miss the lovely Miss Nelson. There’s a real joy in being naughty and seeing just how much you can get away with!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bloomsbury Children’s Books for this fun book which will be published in May 2014. My 10 year-old twins really enjoyed it too and can’t wait for the next one!
