Revolting Rhymes

Love this book when i was little kid!!!

Sent in a timely fashion in a nice gift box.

Hilarious, imaginative and an absolute delight!

Fun reading.

As a family, we are going to see a live version of Matilda, the musical. I wanted to make sure my granddaughters had an opportunity to read the original, and still the greatest.

I love this book, however I bought it for my 10 year old niece and I think I'll hold on to it for a few more years. Dahl is my favorite children's author but he uses the word Hell and Slut in one of the poems, leading me to believe this book may not be entirely appropriate for my niece at this time. The poems are fantastic and perfectly worded, my absolute favorites being Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs. I wouldn't want her to bring this book to school and kids make a big deal about the "bad words". Maybe when shes 13 or 14. GREAT BOOK though.

I read this to my son when he was little and bought this copy for my granddaughter. This is a wonderful story that helped give my bunch the.love of reading!!

We bought this book to read to our three year old daughter and she absolutely loved it, especially the two stories with the Big Bad Wolf. We also gifted this book to my brother-in-law who is almost 40, and it made him laugh out loud. The rhymes and the twisted story plots are creative and entertaining. Unlike other reviewers here, we are not concerned that Roald Dahl calls Cinderella a "slut." We are not raising our child in a household that worships princesses anyway. We instead love the socialist overtones and the knocks he makes on austerity. Funny.

Perfecto, buena impresión, buen precio.

Granddaughter was delighted!

If you've got a slightly dark sense of humor and a love for unadulterated Dahl's work you will love this book. These rhymes are hilarious versions of the fairy tales we all love, but those who are expecting rainbows and unicorns will be appalled. Example: in Cinderella's tale one of the ugly sisters is beheaded and that's just for starters.I however love this book and always have. Even as a child it made me laugh. I loved it. Got it again as a birthday treat to myself because my old copy is in terrible condition. But when I was a kid I read everything and anything so I am not a good example.If you're thinking about getting the Rhymes for a kid maybe check it out before you make a present of it. Some kids may be "traumatized" and some parents may be offended. Baffles me but that's people for you.However I can't recommend it enough to those who just love a good laugh. Especially if you can appreciate beautiful poetry too. The original illustrations typical of Dahl's work are another delight of this edition too.Wonderful Roal Dahl.

I love it

Je connaissait déjà les œuvres de R. Dahl, donc forcément pas de déception possible: ce livre regroupe des contes revisité (très moderne, ca change) !! Illustration super comme d’hab.. Juste je m’attendais à ce que ce soit un livre de poche or c’est le format d’un magazine, il y a peu de pages mais étant donné que c’est pour les enfants c’est parfait.
