Roald Dahl novels, short stories, poems, rhymes and songs can be enjoyed as a class reading, individual reading, guided reading and will certainly help to inspire young peoples creative writing skills. This review seems completely pointless because even if I did have anything bad to say about anything that Dahl has ever written (which I certainly do not), his legions of fans from young to old will simply ignore. And rightly so. As with any Dahl creation, there are many dark and twisted happenings in this collection with many characters meeting rather unfortunate ends. I remember being horrified by Dahl's version of "The Three Little Pigs". Because of this, I would not recommend this for sensitive readers. Best fit for those who already enjoy Dahl's humor and story-telling style.

Normally I don’t pay as much heed to illustrations as I should, but there is really an atmosphere with the illustrations of Dahl’s work, and it is simply fabulous.
