Aaron Blabey’s Open Wide and Say Arrrgh is the fifteenth Bad Guys book, a loud and VERY silly comic for 7 year olds with the worst dentist you could ever imagine.<\/p>\n
It opens with Mr Wolf gagged and strapped into the chair. Doctor Drilla\u00e4rgh leans over him with a needle and a grin full of spiky teeth. His business card says he’s an amateur (and that he doesn’t need a diploma).<\/p>\n
He has a nurse called Nursie, a huge one-eyed lump in a little white hat. And when the needle isn’t enough, out comes a drill the size of a lamppost. BUZZZZ!<\/p>\n
Wolf gets free and runs for it through the clinic with two friends. Their guide is Abe, a bat in a tie who can’t tell a lie. That’s a real problem when you’re hiding. He keeps shouting out exactly where they are (he does feel bad about it).<\/p>\n
Meanwhile the rest of the gang are scattered a long way off. A velociraptor called Milt squares up to a monster with chain saws for arms, and what’s hiding inside it is probably the best joke in the book. And Piranha finds out he has a brand-new power. Where does it come out? His bottom, of course.<\/p>\n
Most pages are one big picture or a strip of panels, with speech bubbles and HUGE sound effects (DONG! SPLURT! P-TOOEY!). The dentist’s lines come in scratchy horror-film capitals, which is half the fun. A confident reader can race through it in one sitting.<\/p>\n
It’s a book that knows it’s a book, too. Wolf grumbles that if their life was a series, it’d be getting a lot weirder and darker than the early ones. Fans will love being in on that joke.<\/p>\n
Worth knowing before you hand it over. It really does get darker. The dentist says he just wants to hear you scream, and a creepy heavy metal song puts a spell on anyone who hears it. It ends on a cliffhanger with the gang in real trouble. A child who scares easily might like you nearby. For most fans it’s spooky in a giggly way, and there’s never a bottom joke far away.<\/p>\n
This one sits right in the middle of a big ongoing story. It starts mid-crisis and expects you to know who everyone is, so a reader starting here will be quite lost. If yours hasn’t met the gang yet, go back to Episode One, the book where the whole story starts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
