Roald Dahl has created a
ghastly menagerie of dirty beasts - all doing the most
extraordinary and unmentionable things, in irreverent and
absurdly comic verse. Briliant! I love this one. Great
for kids too! (Bernie)
This collection of poems
introduces a menagerie of comic animals. Meet the poor
toad that jumps to France - at his own peril; the pig who
ponders on the meaning of life; the anteater who gets the
wrong end of the stick; and the porcupine with it's
painful prickles.
Six of the best-known
nursery tales, retold, with some extremely surprising
twists. The author also wrote "Dirty Beasts",
"The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me" and
"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".
