I guess the SH is the start of a word that combined with Literature makes one wonder just how bad this book is.

The background and the text are awful, but I suspect the illustrations might be deliberately bad and there’s a lot of that about. Several years ago there was a Flash animation called ‘The Ultimate Showdown’ and the way it was drawn was atrocious, but nevertheless it’s pretty funny (heroes and villains drawn in a childish MS Paint style but instantly recognisable as who they were meant to be) and was quite popular. The pile of characters at the top looks rather like it. I see a lot of horribly-drawn cartoons shared on Facebook, so I guess it’s ‘a thing’ now. Not to mention a lot of professionally published books for children have awful illustrations.
