Look insideThe Twits
A yucky masterpiece! Do you think Mr Gum is a nasty piece of work? What about the evil Burt in Ratburger? Well, long before they came along to terrify you, there were these two wretches: Roald Dahl’s nastiest villains. Ugh! The Twits torment little children, keep monkeys in a cage, and gobble up songbirds baked into pie. They’re beastly as sin. They’re horribly funny. And they’re about to get what they deserve…
- One of Roald Dahl’s funniest, most iconic classics
- Deliciously disgusting in all the ways kids love
- Brilliantly expressive artwork by Quentin Blake
- A wonderful choice to motivate growing readers

yo peps! i’m melvin-sneedly! with my review of the twits. the twits are ugly rude and mean people. they lock up monkeys. they eat bird pie. one time they even tried to eat BOY pie! i’m glad i did’t get stuck in the tree. ( the brainiac boy was a lot like me though) muggle wump was my favourite character and i’m giving it the 👓 sneedly mark just because of muggle wump. i evan made a mini movie! i give the twits 5 stars plus the 👓 sneedly mark

I loved this book! I liked it because of the stupid jokes. My favourite bit was when the animals took all the furniture and glued it on the ceiling so Mr twit glued himself and Mrs twit onto the ceiling so they couldn’t move.
