Mischievous, grotesque antics with a dash of justice.

"The Twits" taps into that gleeful part of us that delights in the ridiculous. Dahl has a way of making the grotesque both hilarious and satisfying, especially when the wicked get their comeuppance. It's ideal if you revel in stories where the underdogs, or in this case, the monkeys, triumph over mean-spirited humans. With Quentin Blake's vivid illustrations now in full color, you're in for a treat that's visually captivating and nostalgically gratifying.

Description

They're disgusting and despicable--they're the Twits! "It's nothing but delicious riddance to rotten rubbish, all deftly illustrated by Quentin Blake. Parents may turn chartreuse or puce at the descriptions of the Twits, but kids will squeal in delighted disgust."--School Library Journal
