Dirty Beasts

About Dirty Beasts

Roald Dahl’s inimitable style and humor shine in this picture book collection of poems about mischievous and mysterious animals.

From Stingaling the scorpion to Crocky-Wock the crocodile, Dahl’s animals are nothing short of ridiculous. A clever pig with an unmentionable plan to save his own bacon and an anteater with an unusually large appetite are among the characters created by Dahl in these timeless rhymes. This picture book edition is perfect for reading aloud and makes Quentin Blake’s celebrated illustrations even more enjoyable.
