A delightful and humorous read.,

This review is from: Dirty Beasts (Picture Puffins) (Paperback)
I read this book quite a few years ago as a child, and loved it. Even when I read it now, it still brings a smile to my face.The poems are about animals, as the title would suggest, but often the more gruesome child-like side. For example, the poem about Daisy the cow, my personal favourite. The rhyming schemes and lengths of the poems vary, which keeps the book interesting. I would recommend this book for children and parents alike, as it is funny yet makes poetry seem fun and easy. As a child, I remember wanting to write my own poetry like it. 7 years later, I am doing so for my A Level English Language work. It is book that is difficult to forget, but for all the right reasons.

A fun collection of rhyming tales sure to bring a smile,
This review is from: Dirty Beasts (Picture Puffin) (Paperback)
A favourite bedtime book for my two children 4,6, which I thoroughly enjoy reading. Short tales about people and animals written in rhyming verse, with a "naughty" hint to them which leaves us all smiling. A great fun read.

An all rounder for children and adults alike.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dirty Beasts: Unabridged (Puffin audiobooks) (Audio Cassette)
We took this audiobook with us in the car on holiday and we all thoroughly enjoyed the Roald Dahl magical humour. We played it over and over again to the point when we knew the verses by heart! The children loved it so much that I have now bought the book as well.
