The Twits
Roald Dahl, Quentin Blake
The Twits are possibly the nastiest and most digusting of all Roald Dahl’s characters.
Frogs in beds; Eyeballs in drinks; Worms in spaghetti
Mr and Mrs Twit are really disgusting. They smell because they never wash, they fight because they play tricks on each other, AND they hate children. But worst of all, they keep monkeys in their back garden. In cages. It’s time for the monkeys to get their revenge on these two most revolting creatures . . .
meet the Muggle-Wump monkeys and the Roly-Poly bird!*
with a great new cover by Quentin Blake, and a whole exciting section about Roald Dahl and his world***
‘A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero’ – David Walliams
Roald Dahl, the best-loved of children’s writers, was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. After school in England he went to work for Shell in Africa. He began to write after ""a monumental bash on the head"", sustained as an RAF pilot in World War II. Roald Dahl died in 1990.
Quentin Blake is one of the best-known and best-loved children’s illustrators and it’s impossible now to think of Roald Dahl’s writings without imagining Quentin Blake’s illustrations.

I like the monkeys. They are smart though they were in cage for so long. They came out with birds' help, but then use their ways to make Mr and Mrs Twists understand their feelings when being locked in a cage

It is a book about these cruel and nasty people who are very mean to animals and in the end they die somehow. Get the book to find out!

I like the monkeys and feel sad for them. I am happy they are freed at the end. I think the tricks that the Twits do to each other are funny.

Some of the language is hard to read but the story is very good. I liked it when the animals got their own back at the end

I think this is a wonderful book. It was very funny when Mr Twit and Mrs Twit do pranks on each other. Especially when Mr Twit said Mrs Twit is getting shorter. My favourite character is the monkeys when they put everything upside down. I would recommend it to 4 to 9.
