Revolting Rhymes

If you haven't bought this or haven't read this, you must, it's a classic!6 classic fairy stories made even more gruesome and whole lot funnier. If you love Roald Dahl, you will love these stories. Each story is short and rhyming with wonderful Quentin Blake illustrations.The stories are:CinderellaJack and the BeanstalkSnow White and the Seven DwarfsGoldilocks and the Three BearsLittle Red Riding Hood and the WolfThe Three Little PigsEach story is hilarious, with humour that appeals to my 6 and 4 year olds, as well as their (*ahem*) 37 year old mother!I cannot do justice here, to the clever writing and rhyming, but just one example I love is rhyming "palace" with "jealous" by spelling it 'jalous'. It always makes me laugh.Every line is a treat and there are a number of lines that will stay with you forever, such as:"The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.She whips a pistol from her knickers."Although I adore this book, one word of warning: if you have a young child, who is sensitive, you might want to wait a while. My 4 year old daughter was a bit scared at first, so I left it. But now she is 6 she enjoys it. And my 4 year old son was fine straight away. There is violence (but then there is in all fairy stories).The BBC have also made a great animated version of this, where they have cleverly weaved the stories together. A must watch too.In summary: A classic, you must buy.(The kindle version is great too)

Daughter loves to read and she loves this book

This book is excellent. My 7 year old granddaughter absolutely loved it. Then we gave it to my 83 year old mother who has altizimers. She read it over and over and found it hilarious every time. Money truly well spent.

Such a funny book. Me and my son both loved it.

Quick delivery. Great book

My grandaughter loves these stories. A twist on the mainstream fairy tales. Short enough for bedtime too.

We love this book. Perfect for a 5-6 year old starting on their Roald Dahl journey. Our really son enjoyed being read to.

Very funny for small kids. Especially if an older sibling can read it.

Quintessential Dahl

Un libro de versos basados en cuentos populares, pero con una vuelta de tuerca muy en la línea de Roald Dahl. Personalmente prefiero los cuentos/novelas, pero en sí mismos son bastante divertidos, y una variación curiosa.

Des contes de fées réécrits avec verve et humour. Un classique. J'adore

Roald Dahl. Nothing more to say. AMAZING story telling.Set came in a satchel but well protected with bubble wrap although I was expecting it in an Amazon box. No big drama.

Genial libro para los peques! Todo un éxiti!
