Revolting Rhymes & Dirty Beasts

By: Roald Dahl

Narrated by: Stephen Mangan, Tamsin Greig, Miriam Margolyes

“Roald Dahl sometimes shared a tonal kinship with Ogden Nash, and he could demonstrate a verbal inventiveness nearly Seussian…[His] stories work better in audio than in print.” –The New York Times


REVOLTING RHYMES

Did you think Cinderella married the prince and lived happily ever after, or that the three little pigs outsmarted the wolf? Think again! Master storyteller Roald Dahl adds his own darkly comic twists to six favorite tales, complete with rambunctious rhymes and hilarious surprise endings.


DIRTY BEASTS


Roald Dahl's inimitable style and humor shine in this collection of poems about mischievous and mysterious animals. From Stingaling the scorpion to Crocky-Wock the crocodile, Dahl's animals are nothing short of ridiculous. A clever pig with an unmentionable plan to save his own bacon and an anteater with an unusually large appetite are among the characters created by Dahl in these timeless rhymes. This new, larger edition is perfect for reading aloud and makes Quentin Blake's celebrated illustrations even more enjoyable.

"Will elicit a loud 'Yuck.' In other words, children will love them." (Children's Book Review Service)

The most common thing was the funny people

Not enough expression but the readers were not bad. They are pretty good at reading. But I’d say to read with more expression. Overall, good story!!!!!!

It was kind of inappropriate

Most of the stories are nice but they did mention some bad words.some of the stories were a bit scary for kids though they are good books.
