Roald Dahl has created a ghastly assortment of wicked beasts getting up to some extraordinary and unmentionable things in this comic collection of verse. Meet the clever pig with a plan to save his bacon, the scorpion who likes to sting, the ginat toad who can jump from England into France, and lots more...(P.S. Beware of all the animals in this book!)

I kind of liked it because the dirty beast didn't give me that much entertainment but I liked it.

I thought it was a alright book but it had sort of hard poems in it. I liked the cow the best because it grew wings. I would recommend it to anyone who is seven or more.

I have really, really loved this book!!! The poems were brilliant and the rhymes were very funny. Although it wasn't very appropriate for my age, I still enjoyed it a lot. I would recommend it to everyone!!!

It is quite funny, because the animals eat very strange things.

This is a fun and funny book full of poems that rhyme. This book makes me smile though it is a bit gruesome too.

Others should read this book because it gives people jokes to read.
