Publisher's Synopsis

The much-loved Roald Dahl collection of hilarious animal rhymes, updated for a whole new generation of readers with an exciting new interior design and cover look.

A collection of (mainly) grisly beasts out for human blood, ranging from Crocky-Wock the crocodile to Stingaling the scorpion. Described in verse with all Dahl's usual gusto and illustrated in suitably lurid style by Quentin Blake.

Exciting, bold and instantly recognisable with Quentin Blake's inimitable artwork.


The text in this edition of Dirty Beasts was updated in 2022 for young independent readers.
