Revolting Rhymes (Colour Edition)

This is a great book for kids ( and many adults ) Stories are funny ; illustrations are spot on . Good value

The book arrived promptly and it was well wrapped. I bought it for my grandson ,my daughter had this book when she was small and it was one of her favourites.She loved it as the rhyme's are a bit naughty which really make children laugh .She had all the Roald Dahl books ,still has most of them,I hope he enjoys them as much as she did.

I think everything that can be said about Roald Dahl’s books has been said already. My children grew up with his disgracefully behaved characters. I didn’t buy this book for a child, I bought it for me to recapture childhood and incidentally to read to captive Grandchildren. Age is irrelevant when it comes to Dahl books. They are for the children who love adults behaving badly and for badly behaved adults who are still children at heart. Written with all the joy of a naughty child penning all those thoughts that many of us think but seldom voice, this book is a ‘must’ for the anarchist child and its Peter Pan Parent. Who knew Red Riding Hood was a serial murderer - but it all makes perfect sense now! Delightful, funny, perfect for Parental ‘voices’ for the different characters and a delight for Parents to read to Children!

This is a collection of naughty rhymes, giving an alternative account of familiar nursery rhymes. In these verses, moms are eaten, heads are chopped off, and scullery maids make demands to patient fairies. Each verse balances the on the edge of "inappropriateness" in true Dahl fashion. In the same way that "George's Marvellous Medicine" gave birth to a generation of cough-syrup-addicted sociopaths, this book is fast turning children into fur-coat wearing fashionistas from the upper crust... On a serious note, the text is simple yet challenging enough for KS1 KS2. The plots are rich, with the exception of Goldilocks, which favours critical thought over style, and gives the book a mid-point to balance on. It ends with the same captivating pace that it starts, making it suitable for anytime reading. It should engage adults as well, and here, the medium font makes it easy on the eyes. Some of the italicised font is difficult in low light, but as they say, eyesight is overrated... This book is definitely a keeper, but remember: buy the colour version.

My 8 year old has recently got into Roald Darl books so I looked online for some for xmas gifts, came across this and remember loving it as a child. Ordered this for her, it arrived quickly and she loves it! Finds it funny an entertaining and it's lovely to read together

Great book for children very interesting and funny.

Grandson loves his book, definitely recommend.

I must confess I only bought this book after seeing the phenomenal tv adaptation. I am really pleased I did though. Reading this book is a constant joy, and more so since it has become her favourite bedtime story. Roald Dahl, so it is whitty, cheeky and immensely entertaining. The artwork is also delightful. I must also confess that on a few occasions once my daughter has fallen asleep, I have continued to read on for my own delight.

Alles top!

めちゃくちゃBritish Englishでビックリしました(良い方に)。

Another brilliant way to look at the childhood stories we have been hearing... what an interesting read. Highly recommended!

Compramos este libro de lectura para una niña de doce años. Se lo mandaron adquirir en el instituto.El libro narra adaptaciones en verso para personas adolescentes o mayores.El autor juega con el idioma de manera magistral y es ingenioso y divertido en definitiva se podría decir que es otra forma brillante de ver las historias de la infancia que muchos de nosotros hemos vivido. Un libro ameno mas que recomendable. Respecto al envió ha sido un poco largo pues el libro nos lo han mandado de Francia por lo que ha tardado casi 14 días.

Un livre jubilatoire; Un très bon moment de lecture.
