Dirty Beasts Paperback – Picture Book, October 14, 2002

of course it's a funny book but not for kids, unlike his other works.

Item as described. Delivered on time.

Birthday gift for 8 yr. old

I bought this book for my daughter as I had been given it as a child and loved it, she loves it. Well written poetry that flows and is funny, witty and a wee bit on the dark side but nothing small minds can't laugh about.

My favorite poem of all time is "The Pig" but "The Tummy Beast" kind of jumped out at me in this one as I haven't read it until now. This was my favorite author as a kid and it was splendid to remember that while reading this. A fantastic book for any age. Out of the norm and completely mind boggling lol beautifully put though.

Don't buy this book as a soothing bedtime story- one of my favorites is about a crocodile who likes to eat boys with mustard and girls with caramel. It ends with the parent tucking the kid in bed listening to the crocodile coming up the stairs. A year ago my kids would have flipped out. But, at 6 and 8, they love this stuff now- as long as it isn't as bedtime. The rhymes are hilarious to an adult, especially one raised on Dahl, and delightful to a kid not raised in bubble-wrap. bad kids, bad animals, monsters, good times.

I was disappointed in this book. There were so many British expressions that i couldn't translate it properly for reading to my grandchildren.

This book is wonderful for children and adults. Especially little boys! I adore this book. Makes a great gift since for some reason a lot of people have not heard of it! The stories are a little wicked which is just great.

This is a book in which they're some poems about some beasts

Gostamos, o produto chegou dentro do previsto

I read this as a child and I am now reading it to my children. Silly, funny and a bit naughty. All the the things a children’s book should be and a great introduction to poetry.

Adoro !

Je suis très contente de mon achat. Ce livre est un must pour les amoureux de Roald Dahl.
