Shelly Unwin, Vivienne To
There's a Baddie Running Through this Book
Allen & Unwin, 2018
A fast-paced story about a baddie on the run and a playful text that invites the child and reader to interact with the book reminiscent of children's classics such as Richard Scarry's Great Big Air Book and Nick Bland's The Wrong Book.
There's a baddie running through this book,
Turn the pages; have a look.
There he goes, did you see?
Sound your siren, chase with me.
Kids, watch out! A baddie is on the loose and only you can catch him. But this baddie is very sneaky. He's going to have you looking for him everywhere...up and down, and around and around...until the very last page!
