Revolting Rhymes by Roald Dahl is a brilliantly funny paperback collection that gives famous fairy tales a wildly mischievous twist. With Roald Dahl’s sharp humour and playful language, familiar stories like Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, and Jack and the Beanstalk become far more outrageous than children might expect.

Instead of gentle fairy-tale endings, these rhymes are packed with cheeky surprises, wicked characters, and comic reversals that make the stories feel fresh and unforgettable. The lively verse keeps the book fast-moving and highly entertaining, especially for children who enjoy humour with a slightly mischievous edge.

Quentin Blake’s distinctive illustrations bring even more energy and charm to the collection, making Revolting Rhymes a favourite for reading aloud and sharing. It is an excellent choice for young readers who enjoy poetry, classic stories, and books that combine imagination with laugh-out-loud fun.
