Dirty Beasts
Roald Dahl, Quentin Blake
Dirty Beasts is a collection of hilarious animal rhymes from the World’s NUMBER ONE Storyteller!
Reissued in the exciting new Roald Dahl branding.
A collection of (mainly) grisly beasts out for human blood, ranging from Gocky-Wock the crocodile to Sting-A-Ling the scorpion. Described in verse with all Dahl’s usual gusto and illustrated in suitably lurid style by Quentin Blake.
‘A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero’ – David Walliams
Exciting, bold and instantly recognisable with Quentin Blake’s inimitable artwork.

I liked this book because I loved the magic frog. He turned into both a snail and the Roly Poly Bird. I think it was nice to read a book of poems and Roald Dahl made them really fun and special to read.

Imagine being eaten by a crocodile. Imagine sleeping with a scorpion. Imagine seeing a giant frog. If you are scared of lions, crocodiles, snails, birds, frogs or scorpions, do not read this book. You will be frightened by these legendary creatures. If not, this is a must-read.

I would recommend this book because it has a lot of humor in it and I like the way Roald Dahl made the rhymes accurate with each other.

This book is full of funny poems about animals. The Porcupine is the funniest of all the poems and made me laugh out loud!
