| The Twits / Roald Dahl : 3 of 5 | |

 A lovely little Roald Dahl story from my Christmas gifts, which I read quickly since it's so short. This time the illustrations are an essential part of the book, since the text often refers to them directly, and there's at least one on every page. We meet Mr. and Mrs. Twit, who are simply disgusting people, and learn about how they make each other miserable with all kinds of disgusting (but funny) practical jokes. They also are cruel to birds and monkeys (the Muggle-Wumps), and the story describes how the monkeys "revolt" (with the help of the Roly-Poly Bird) and make sure the Twits get a taste of their own medicine. There are some really creative gags here - I just wish the book was a little longer!Labels: books |
