Quentin Blake illustrated it.Roald Dahl is one of my all-time favourite authors. I’ve read just about all his books like ‘Matilda’, ‘BFG’, ‘Witches’, and his boyhood autobiology. And all the rest.

Roald Dahl basically took some well-known fables and tales and turned them into silly rhymes. We all know how Roald Dahl had quite the imagination, so this collection can be crazy and hilarious. Some of the rhymes are a bit too risqué and aren't really suited for kids as they reference sex, adultery, and even cannabalism, but I think some of it would likely go unnoticed. Definitely read at your own risk! Others are completely harmless.
