A less popular Dahl book, The Twits is about a nasty couple that is so horrid that their thoughts have made them ugly. They like nothing better than to play mean tricks on eachother like sticking frogs in eachother's beds. One day, their pet monkeys decide to play a trick on them to teach them a lesson! I love Ronald Dahl books. Among my favorites are the BFG and the Witches. Dahl's descriptions of the Twits along with the black and white illustrations made me laugh. Do you feel bad for the Twits? probably not! A book that definately teaches you what NOT to do.
Food for thought: Can you find similar adult characters in other Dahl books?
