The Bad Seed Presents: The Good, the Bad, and the Spooky | Jory John

pick

I adore The Bad Seed series and this one is Halloween themed. Mr. Seed is freaking out because he can‘t find the right costume so he tries to postpone trick or treating for a day. Pumpkin seed convinces him to relax & enjoy the holiday. Jace loves this series. 4⭐️

Also using this for the book scavenger hunt for purple.

I just started reading The Bad Seed series to Jace this week. This is THE cutest series! This was my favorite page from this particular book - it‘s always great to see my favorite show, Mad Men, mentioned out in the wild. 😅 I would highly recommend this entire series and Jace really loved it as well. I love the artwork. #TheBadSeed #childrensbooks #MadMen #raisingreaders

GingerAntics I love all the pop culture references in those TV shows. 🤣😂🤣 2mo

Hubby‘s not feeling well so I was on double bedtime duty tonight. The boys chose their books well! #TheBadSeed is SO fun to read aloud and the illustrations in #HaveYouEverSeenaSmackofJellyfish are really stunning. One teaches a lesson, the other some wildlife facts plus the alphabet. What‘s not to love?? Highly recommend both books!

Have You Ever Seen a Smack of Jellyfish?: An Alphabet Book

LeahBergen Is he a bad sunflower seed? 😂 6y

britt_brooke @LeahBergen Yep! 😆 It‘s such a cute book. He‘s good until he finds himself inside a bag of sunflower seeds, then gets spat out by a “giant.” Then he stops being polite, is always late, and never puts things back where they belong. It‘s pretty adorable. 6y

Indexasaurus I just read The Bad Seed to a group of pre-k kids, part of a theme in kindness. It is cute! Another one I read to them was The Blobfish Book, another cute/funny one (but also part nonfic so they learn something), highly recommend that one, too! 6y

britt_brooke @Indexasaurus I will look for that one - thanks! 6y

There was no way I was reviewing this with only 451 characters. I‘ll say this book is NOT “We Need To Talk About Kevin” and if that‘s all that‘s griping you, you can skip this book. If you want an odd book that offers no literary merit other than the goal to shock, go for it!!! I was not a fan.

CarolynM Well, they wanted an honest review and you certainly gave them one. Good for you! I think there are far too many novels out there that use mental health conditions as a (sometimes lazy) way of creating a character or of advancing a plot without really understanding the condition and so making a nonsense of the story as you've described. At the risk of offending people I think The Eye of the Sheep is an example, although not as extreme as this 7y

ladyonequestion Great review and @CarolynM that's very true. 7y

batsy Great pan. Absolutely agreed, @CarolynM . This is what bothers me about some psychological thrillers. Demeaning/sensationalised portrayals of mental illness. Plus the term "psychological" conveys realism, but instead you get fantasy antics of people behaving in unpeoplelike ways. 7y

Cinfhen Thanks @Batsy @CarolynM @ladyonequestion I hate to pan a book and I‘ve seen the author has been responding on GR BUT they did ask for an honest review and it‘s not meant to offend the author or any reader who enjoyed this book! It just wasn‘t for me and I didn‘t get into the whole Crohn‘s Disease (edited) 7y

ValPenny Brilliant review, thank you @Cinfhen - I'll give this book a body-swerve - my TBR pile is big enough! 7y

SleepyDragon I think I'll just reread #TheBadSeed. This sounds horrible. Also, I hate it when the writers engage on GR. It strikes me as unprofessional. 7y

TrishB Amazing review Cindy 👍🏻 I think you should patent the term nonsense fiction. More and more of it currently. Thanks for taking one for the team 💕 7y

laundry_piles Currently reading, some I had an ARC...so weird 7y

Cinfhen I feel bad that so many are taking a pass based on my review...not sure St. Martin‘s Press is gonna love me so much anymore 😜oh welll #KeepingItReal @TrishB @NeesyBeth @ValPenny 7y

Cinfhen It‘s such an odd book @laundry_piles I‘ll be curious to see what u think after your done 7y

laundry_piles @Cinfhen I'm a little more than half way through right now. There had been a scene or two that's made me pretty uncomfortable given she's a "seven year old" but I'm also a mother of a five year old so some things are 'to far' for me. 7y

Mdargusch Love that #nonsensefiction. 7y

Leftcoastzen If I read this ,sounds like my eye rolls would push my eyes right out of my head!🙄. 7y

Cinfhen Definitely the 7 year old claiming the Devil is effing her was uncomfortable, as was her taking nude photos of daddy while he slept 😳I was NOT cool with that @laundry_piles 7y

emilyhaldi Brilliant review! 👏🏻 I‘m fairly sure “nonsense fiction” is not for me 😆 7y

laundry_piles @Cinfhen agreed! 🙌 7y

GypsyKat Good review, this book is definitely not for me! 7y

RebelReader Wonderful review! Thanks for allow a lot of us dodge a bullet. 🙏🏻 7y

asiriusreader Great review! As a new Mom, I know this isn‘t one for me either! 7y

Reviewsbylola Yeah this sounds horrible. 7y

Debiw781 Ugh I have this on my netgalley shelf to read 😖 7y
