The bad habits

[LotsofDots]

I have a vague memory of a classic children's book with characters who are 'the bad habits' I remember nothing else about it but it's really bugging me that I can't remember what it was. Can anyone help me?

Is this it by any chance? It was the only one I could find with 'the bad habits' as characters, rather than as actual habits, IYSWIM.

Yes I came on to say Rebecca's World. she comes across a lovely old couple who offer her sweets and tell her it's fine to talk to strangers and they have some funny little fluffy pet creatures who offer to bite her nails. Love that book!

Yes, I do believe that was it! Thank you so much! I had tried googling but couldn't remember anything else about it at all. Will need to see if I can track down a copy now to see what it was about it that made it stick in my head!

Thanks again.
