A collection of (mainly) grisly beasts out for human blood, ranging from Crocky-Wock the crocodile to Sting-A-Ling the scorpion. Described in verse with all Dahl's usual gusto and illustrated in a suitably wicked style by Quentin Blake.
Was that CROCKY-WOCK galumphing up the stairs?
Is STING-A-LING hiding in your bed?
And what foul fate has PIGGY planned for Farmer Bland?
WARNING! This book contains wickedly funny verse, prickly surprises and the most despicable creatures you could ever hope (not) to meet.

Great to share together and lovely illustrations
impressed with the quality and design of this book
Fantastic value for money




Full of fun, at times slightly naughty tales that kids will adore this once again proves why Roald Dahl is so beloved to children (and adults) worldwide.
