A dad is going to read a bedtime story to his son. The boy wants a really scary story. Not a story with a mice wolf, with a witch who invites her friends the unicorns, nor a story of a vampire who has soft teeth and can only chew gum. He picks a book for dad to read and gets ready for a scary story… but not too scary.

One of our favourite books. What a great way to learn colours! Can you guess what colour is a kiss? Is it yellow like the sun, white like the snow or pink like a cupcake?

However, one day, a spider is in the sister’s bedroom and she asks Xiaolong to get rid of it. Without thinking he grabs the spider and releases it in the garden.

This hilarious story will make you laugh for a long time. Three characters are reading a story about a princess, a monster and a prince. The story is not original! it is full of mistakes! This is indeed the worst book in the world.
