This book is about new recruitment and how they are now trying to be good guys. I read it a few times because one may miss "context" if one is not reading along with the imagery, AND HONESTLY, the book got funnier each time. I think I was kind of lost as these characters already seemed comfortable with each other and it was a random classroom read I noticed the students reading, but overall good book.

I think that this type of graphic novel is great to use in the classroom because it shows students that reading can be silly and fun. I think that it could be used as a treat and if they have done what they are supposed to they could spend some time reading a funny story that they really enjoy.

A little spider asks to join a goodguys club, tired of being stigmatized. Thing is, this so-called "goodguys club" is filled with typically considered evil or feared characters and villains. Headed by The Wolf, he eventually instructs the spider with a lesson in balance and responsibility, that not all attitudes should be completely mean, and how the villainous type deals with misconceptions.

My advice: Do not try to be something you are not. Experiment in the process of evolution and self-knowledge.

Unique Feature – The same characters from The Bad Guys series, this graphic novel is a fun book for children to read and also an introduction to the genre of graphic novels. Follow along as these Bad Guys/Heroes try to save the day. If you would like to introduce your students to graphic novels and a series this is a nice book to use, and also to have handy in your classroom library.

I don't usually read graphic novels but the cover of this caught my eye in, Sam's. I bought the first three in the series. This morning I strarted reading vol 1. At first I thought, hmmm, not much going on here. But then I got to page 9 and the engine kicked into gear and we were off to the races! I haven't laughed so much reading a book EVER! The characters are hilarious and the dialogue brilliant. I SO hope the next two books in the series don't let me down.

This was a cheat for me to meet my goal for the year. Both my kids got this for free at school. Maybe a promotion from Scholastic for the newest book? Its mostly highlights of books 1-4 to get to know the style and characters.

The Bad Guys Guide to Being Good
by Aaron Blabey

This is a funny series, Agent Fox is teaching the bad guys to change their marketing and their image. But it was funny to see how they could mix up the ideas.

[Zack McCurry · Rating 4 out of 5]

This graphic novel brought animals to life to explain how to be good for their community and to their friends.

[Katie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun early chapter book for confidence-building. Plus, what could possibly go wrong when the bad guys try to team up and be good?

[Matt Mazenauer · Rating 1 out of 5]

Nonsense, non-story buried under needless tangents.

[Pruthvi · Rating 2 out of 5]

A little boring.

Wolf, shark, piranha, and snake are giving spider the guide to see if he has what it takes to be a good guy. A fun read that kids will love!

Think of this as a small supplement to bring you up to speed on who the Bad Guys are if you need a refresher.

Short story that introduces Legs to the rest of the Bad Guys team. The book briefly summarizes their past adventures and offers tips on how to be a Bad Guy.

But...... your team name is.................nvm and TEN OF THESE BOOKS? I. WANT. THEM. ALLLLLLLL

[Amanda Ivany]

We all know the spider gets a bad wrap for being bad, but have you ever stopped to consider that maybe they are trying to be good? Set in a group of bod guys doing good, with a wolf, shark, snake, and parana, this graphic novel has not won any awards. This book would be good to have in a classroom as a book for students to read to themselves.
