“This famous wicked little tale, should never be put on sale.“ This is a twist on Goldilocks.
I would use this book in my classroom to compare and contrast different versions of stories.
pickPoetry- Published in 1982. Revolting Rhymes is a twisted retelling of fairy tails by adding unexpected endings. Some of the stories are Cinderella, Snow White, and Little Red Riding Hood.
pickFinished my first book during the 24 hour readathon. Decided to start with a fun Dahl book before getting into some of my more hefty reads. Dahl always makes me laugh. So brilliant. Glad I finally read this one. @DeweysReadathon #readathon #deweyoct #litsylovereads
It is almost time to begin the 24-hour readathon! I'm gonna start it with the tagged Roald Dahl book for fun. Then I'll move on to something in this large tbr pile. Good luck to those participating! @DeweysReadathon #readathon #deweyoct

I could never dream of being #Sad with a Dahl book in my hands. 💜💛💚😁
When you are reading one of your favourite childhood books to your 5 year old son and realise things have changed ALOT in the last 30 years! Oh Roald 🤦🏻♀️ I‘m assuming they have updated this in later editions??
My son asked me to read this as it's one of his favourite shows on TV right now. I'm so glad he links books to his favourite shows. A great way to continue his love of reading. Now my 2 are fast asleep I can read my book. Happy reading all 📖❤️📚 @Jackal121

Clockwise from top: the beautiful Taschen Edition Brothers Grimm, the fun Wonderful World of Disney/Whitney Houston adaptation (with the incomparable Bernadette Peters as the Wicked Stepmother singing Falling in Love), and the gruesome Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes.

pickI love Dahl‘s short stories for the adults, but for some reason I wasn‘t interested about his children‘s books ... until now! For #AuthorAMonth I have read three books - James and the Giant Peach⭐️⭐️⭐️ (about very unhappy boy, strange events and creatures), Revolting Rhymes⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (six well-known fairytales written in verses, but with Dhal‘s typical twists), and his autobiography for children with the title Boy⭐️⭐️⭐️ I liked all three ...👇
pickThis strange twist of TL is poetry sure to make anyone laugh. Roald Dahl puts his own spin on 6 classic stories including Cinderella and the Three Little Pigs. The classics are given rhymes and surprise endings to match. Roald Dahl's website provides lesson plans and a reading to use with Revolting Rymes.https://www.roalddahl.com/roald-dahl/stories/p-t/revolting-rhymes
From “Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf”
"‘Have you forgot
To tell me what BIG TEETH I've got?
Ah well, no matter what you say,
I'm going to eat you anyway.‘
The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.
She whips a pistol from her knickers.
She aims it at the creature's head,
And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead.”

“She ran out in her underwear and lost one slipper on the stair.”
This book is super fun and best suited for children slightly older (third or fourth grade). It would be a fun way to introduce poetry to children because it has common stories in it.
pickThis book retells common fairytales in a fun way with a consistent rhyme scheme. The plot is funny and the language is engaging since it rhymes.
I have no idea when this added to Netflix, but if you haven't seen it... watch it! It's hilarious and surprisingly touching/cute! Now, I need to pick up the book.
I will keep teaching this poem to 5th graders on #PoetryWednesday until somebody tells me not to! Couldn't fit the whole thing in the picture so google it for the twist ending!!!
pickA poetic take on classic fairytales with some interesting new twists! Great for children, though a little violent. Aren't most fairytales, though? 4/5 stars
"I guess you think you know this story.
You don't. The real one's much more gory."
I can't wait until my kids are old enough for this one. My favourite #funnybook from childhood. #riotgrams Day 23
pickThese stories are so gory. I read them as a middle schooler and just loved them. Rereading it I wish Dahl chose different words/sentiments in a few places, but it's still delicious.
