Revolting Rhymes (Colour Edition) Paperback – 7 July 2016

A fantastic set of stories that has left my child laughing their socks off time and time again. Great purchase.

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

Granddaughter could not stop giggling , while she was reading this book , she really loved it.

Lovely book. Lovely illustrations

Made me and the kids laugh. Perfect mix of funny and gross that kids love

Great book for children very interesting and funny.

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.

Adaptaciones en verso de cuentos infantiles para personas ya adolescentes o mayores. Muy ingenioso y divertido. Roald Dahl juega con el idioma de forma magistral.

Un livre jubilatoire; Un très bon moment de lecture.

This was written in a different time and does contain some naughty words and references. When I was 10 years old and read this back in the 1980s I thought it was funny and probably a little emboldened that I could read rude words. Subsequently I went to college, graduated with a science degree and went on to get two Master’s.Now I bought the book for my son because I think he’ll enjoy it as I did, and I have faith that the two ‘rude’ words in this book won’t scar his childhood - mainly because I’m pretty sure he’s not that dumb.Enjoy some great rhyming and wonderful illustrations. A classic!

Alles top!

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