## Description

desertcart.com: Dirty Beasts: 9780142302279: Dahl, Roald, Blake, Quentin: Books

Review: great short stories - of course it's a funny book but not for kids, unlike his other works.
Review: LOVE IT! - Don't buy this book as a soothing bedtime story- one of my favorites is about a crocodile who likes to eat boys with mustard and girls with caramel. It ends with the parent tucking the kid in bed listening to the crocodile coming up the stairs. A year ago my kids would have flipped out. But, at 6 and 8, they love this stuff now- as long as it isn't as bedtime. The rhymes are hilarious to an adult, especially one raised on Dahl, and delightful to a kid not raised in bubble-wrap. bad kids, bad animals, monsters, good times.
