No writing. While there may be signs of use, sun damage, creased covers, and some scratches, you can still enjoy reading them! It's like a comic book or a light novel, easy to read, and enjoyable even for adults! It has a similar feel to Japanese picture books like "Zorori the Naughty Fox." The "The Bad Guys" series, which was also made into a movie. You'll enjoy it! Highly recommended for extensive reading of English books, reading aloud, and for children who want to read English books on their own. - Series Name: The Bad Guys - Author: Aaron Blabey - Number of Volumes: 17-volume set - ISBN: 978-0-545-91633-4 #ExtensiveReadingOfEnglishBooks #EnglishComics #EnglishLightNovels
