The Worst Book in the Whole Entire World

Rate this book
Poor Nameless tries to explain to the reader why this book is simply the WORST book in the whole entire world!




Will he succeed in his noble quest? Is he part of the reason this book is the worst Will it have a happy ending or the worst ending ever




The Worst Book in the Whole Entire World is a humorous and witty tale for young and seasoned readers. Whatever you do though, don't read it out loud! You may catch wind of these words: booger, stinky, toot, and booty. You've been warned, but you'll still want to see what happens next in this funny adventure!




The Entire World Books series is geared towards ages 3-9 and is great for beginner and reluctant readers. Boys, girls, primary school students, adults, and parents can enjoy this new quirky and silly children's book series.




DISCLAIMER: this book is not meant to be educational or considered a literary classical masterpiece by any means. This story is the worst AND these illustrations are the worst. That's the idea! However, if you and your child have a clever and unique sense of humor then this very well may be the book for you...

Kind of cute, and with a little bit of heart, but it seemed to just be going through the motions. It inevitably draws comparison to The Book with No Pictures in its general tone and humor and perhaps The Missing Piece in its simple graphics. The "naughty" words were uncreative, and honestly I would rather have a kid going around saying "badoongy face" rather than "booty booger," which would be the inevitable outcome of sharing this one.

Might not be the worst ever but it makes a strong argument! It’s cute and fun.

This is LITERALLY the worst book in the entire world. It has a wannabe funny tone that copies “The Book with No Pictures” and “Press Here”. It teaches kids potty language and incorrect information. The drawings are terrible and the font is IN ARIEL. I think that was the thing that made me hate this book the most. Very unprofessional, even for a children’s book. Five stars for a book that wastes your time. I seriously wish I could rate this book 0 stars.

My daughter loved this book, cracking up multiple times while reading it. Most of the humor is found in the words "booger" and "booty" appearing on multiple pages and being used in various combinations.

Is it great literature? Probably not.

Did it entertain us and make us laugh together? Absolutely.

That along merits five generous stars.

This is totally a boy book. As I was reading it, I could hear my grandson Ashton, and nephew Atlas cracking up at the words booger, stinky, and booty. We as adults say eww, that's nasty and they shriek with laughter. Boys like shock value. Boys...

So funny!

Adorable! Loved it! Reminds me of “The Monster at the End of This Book” but completely original. Great fun and full of all the gross words my son thinks are funny. Good for a laugh.

This is a super cute book that made me giggle like a little kid. My youngest (10 year old girl) started reading this series independently, and after I read them I got my son to start reading them. Reading is a serious struggle for him, but this boy was one that he loved and enjoyed reading.

The author has simply created a simple, easily rated book that one may consider the "Worst" in the world. But, considering I read all of it and didn't put it down, maybe it isn't the "Worst" book in the whole entire world. I have read many more books that didn't hold my attention, and I didn't complete. Those would, in my estimation should also be considered up of the title of the "Worst" books in the whole entire world. At any rate, I bought it for one of my son's Christmas Presents because I knew the he would at least get a good laugh after reading it--he did!

Brilliant simplicity ❤️

The title is all it takes to attract the reader. If the author says it is a terrible book, I want to know WHY. The author writes in a way that will get readers to laugh out loud. Young readers will love being able to hear (acceptable) naughty words while reading this book. I love this book.

I read all of the books in this series back to back last night and I thought that they were great!

This is the first book in the series and it was a fun light-hearted read and I loved how it was written as an adult – very funny and I can see all the books being massive hits, a simple idea done really well!

It is 4 stars from me for this one – highly recommended!

Well, what to say! A book that constantly warns you that it is the worst book in the entire world quite simply isn't! It's childish, silly, and funny! Perfect for kids during the lock-down; but I think it will also bring a smile to most adults faces too.

Also worth noting that all 5 books in the series are currently free on Amazon UK.

This book is so fun to read aloud! We all need a little fun in our life, let's face it. But this is a WHOLE LOT OF FUN. I even had to go and read it to my husband! It was such a hilarious concept and the illustrations are perfect. So shouting this book to the rooftops to all my teacher and librarian friends. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Its cute but I disliked the booty word. I feel it would have been a different more appropriate word could have been chosen. But then he did pick up his booty. Umm. Maybe it was the right word. I would recommend this cute very short book to a beginner reader.

This is all I care to share. Maybe. why do I need to write y more words for a very short book? The character was cute.

This is brilliant! Very creative.

Made me laugh and couldn't stop turning pages even though I was warned not to.

So really good creativity from Joey Acker.

Children will find this very entertaining.

Brilliant job :)

A real page turner!

I absolutely love that this book is simplistically comical. My kid wanted to know why the book was labeled “the worst” — this means he was EAGER to turn the pages. I think you might be on to something here, Joey.

Legitimately Funny for Kids and Adults

This is funny. It reminds me a little of The Book With No Pictures by BJ Novak. Very clever, my 7 year old loves it.

Funny

This book has simple, child-like humor. I doubt I'll read it again, but it was worth reading once. I'd recommend it for kids 3-6 years old.
