  • More about Worst Book Ever

Elise Gravel's The Worst Book Ever is a humorous and subversive take on the traditional children's book, featuring characters that rebel against the author's bland imagination and tired tropes. The story takes a surprising turn when the characters' true nature overpowers the dry attributes given to them, resulting in a unique and entertaining narrative.

Format: Hardback
Length: 56 pages

Publisher: Drawn and Quarterly


Elise Gravel, the Governor General Literary Award-winning author and illustrator of children's books, has written The Worst Book Ever. Readers are taken on an unexpected journey through the world's most boring book. The author's bland imagination and tired tropes quickly annoy the characters and the omniscient readers, who rebel against her stale choices. They try to get the author's attention and steer the narrative in a more interesting direction.

Despite not having to buy the book, the characters are stuck in it for eternity and will do their best to make the most of it or have a little fun when they can. As the true nature of the characters overpowers the dry attributes given to them by the author, the story quickly picks up speed, transforming into something more unique than originally promised. Gravel's signature goofy characters are behind the wheel, and no silly twist or rude body function is off the table.
