Doing Good Like the Bad Guys

 

The Bad Guys by Aaron Blabey

The Bad Guys by Aaron Blabey is a highly entertaining junior graphic novel. In this first book we meet the wolf, shark, snake, and piranha who are all ready to eat each other (or anyone, really!). Their rap sheets are true to their nature, so setting out to do an act of kindness is quite a challenge. The problem: they want to eat the stranded cat rather than helping it get out of the tree. Hey, they don’t even have a ladder and the four new friends aren’t able to climb. Eat or save? Eat or save?

Check out the best ways that to actually help a cat, which of course have nothing to do with how the Bad Guys operate.

Okay, that was just a trial run and now the team is ready for their first mission. Who is willing to dress up like a princess to fool the guards at the maximum security dog pound? How can climbing onto a giant treble hook help save anyone?

If you’d like a pet piranha, here’s a little info to get you started.

The adventures of these four Bad Guys are hilarious, the artwork so expressive! Aaron Blabey continues the story with a total of 13 books. Young people will see just how fun books can be, but don’t let them have all the laughs. Read them, too!

Have you surprised others by helping when they didn’t expect it? Did you have better results than the Bad Guys?
