There are definitely some downsides and I think each parent can choose what they want their kid to read but I don't think the series is a write off. They have purchased all of the books as well.

Last thing, I recommended these to a friend who's son struggles with enjoying reading and entertaining new material. My son doesn't react to the poop or butts other than pointing them out. The first few books were my personal favorite (before the butt monster) but we've checked out each one from the library. We also talk about how each character is feeling and how they react. We have discussed the insults and as I'm reading I'll point out that they're not being good friends. This is written at a lower level and easy to digest. I've even looked at other graphic novels but they're too complex in dialogue still. He loves that he can 'read' the story so clearly because of the detailed pictures. My son is 4 and we randomly picked this up at the library. In 2018 it was announced that a movie adaptation of The Bad Guys is in development at DreamWorks Animation with Aaron serving as an Executive Producer on the project.Īaron's books have won many awards including nine REAL Awards, an INDIE Book Award for Children's Book of the Year, a Children's Book Council of Australia - Book of the Year Award, a NSW Premiers Literary Award for Children's Literature, two Australian Book Design Awards, and a Children's Peace Literature Award.These books definitely have potty humor and if that offends you then these are not for you.
