Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) use the Old and New Testaments of the King James Version of The Bible as scripture. The Apocryphal books are occassionally quoted by Church leaders but not cannonized as scripture by the Church. Church members are advised to read them only by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, because some of what is written in the Apocryphal books is true and some is not.
The Church also uses the Book of Mormon as scripture. It is considered an additional testament of Jesus Christ and used side-by-side with the Bible.
The Doctrine and Covenants is cannonized as a volume scripture as well. It is a collection of revelations to early Church leaders regarding how the Church should operate.
The final book cannonized as scripture by the Church is the Pearl of Great Price. It contains the Books of Moses and Abraham, which are accounts of the creation story that add more detail to the Biblical book of Genesis. It also contains Joseph Smith's re-translation of Matthew 24 and his personal history.

What are the bad things that they say about Mormons?
Many things that people say against Mormons simply come from someone who is uninformed or has a different opinion. This does not mean that it is bad, but it is often offensive. Those who are uninformed or misinformed often say: -Mormons are polygamist (this practice was banned by the church over 120 years ago in 1890) -Mormons dont believe in the Bible (Mormons consider the King James Version of the Bible as sacred scripture and are encouraged to study it daily) -Mormons don't believe in Jesus (Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior, just like all Christians) -Mormons are cultish (Mormons live and dress and act just like most anyone else in society. They do not live on compunds, etc.) -Mormons worship Joseph Smith (Mormons believe Joseph Smith was a prophet, just like Moses or Abraham, not a god to be worshipped) -Mormons kidnap, brainwash, coerce, etc (Mormons wish everyone to make their own decisions, and define their standards by Scripture) Those who have different opinions and say things that are offensive to Mormons often say: -Mormons are not Christian (Mormons are not traditional Protestant Christians, but they do still believe in the Bible and salvation through Jesus Christ.) -Mormons are lying (Mormons honestly believe they are telling the truth) -Mormonism is a pyramid scheme (Mormons believe in paying a Tithe and in missions work to gain converts, but believe this is Biblically based and do not seek converts for monetary gain) -Mormons are unbiblical (Mormons believe that they are following the Bible very strictly, but the Bible can be interpreted differently by different people) -Mormonism is false (this is obviously just an opinion, but one that is often offensive to those who honestly believe)
