The World's Worst Teachers by David Walliams is praised for its indulgently gross and silly humour that delights thousands of fans. It's often compared to Roald Dahl's works, noted for being laugh-out-loud funny and brilliantly complemented by Tony Ross's energetic illustrations, making it a compelling read even for reluctant readers.
