I mentioned last week that we read The Twits by Roald Dahl, and we all enjoyed it so much that I thought it perfect for today's Tuesday's Tales.
The Twits is a very funny story about a terrible husband and wife who are truly awful to one another and those around them. Dahl's descriptions are incredible, especially that of Mr. Twit's beard which is totally disgusting and could be a character of its own. We were laughing out loud reading about their physical appearances.
The things these two do to one another are completely horrendous, and our girls thought it was absolutely hysterical. Then, as we read on, we learned of their pet monkeys and their weekly bird pie dinner. Dahl's imagination and creativity are simply amazing as they ooze off of every page.
This is a book for girls and boys of all ages. Our three and five year old girls loved it, as did both my husband and I. I can't wait to read some more Roald Dahl classics (such as this one) very soon!
