The Worst Best Friends is about a girl and her cat, and about their friendship which turns out to be the best for the two of them and the worst for everyone else around them. It is interesting to see how this unfolds and how the same incidents give a laugh bout to young readers.
The narrative follows an alliterative sequence of sentences. It sounds fun when someone reads it aloud to a child, but the same might prove difficult when it comes to them reading on their own. The vocabulary and the language expressions used are a little tough for an average Indian child. We need to accept that majority of Indians are not proficient in English. The home language is therefore preferred in order to help the child connect with reading and formal learning. In such a scenario, when English gets introduced to a primary grade child, it needs to be more accommodating and sensitive to the child’s ability to grasp this language. For instance, the first two sentences of the book are very short and simple, but the third sentence shakes up the balance of reading as it is double the first two sentences combined.
