A naughty giggle probably seen as not PC by some.

The first time i read this short story was when my youngest son was 8yrs old, hes 35 now and iv just bought it for his son.
It really is a wicked little book and not mentioned enough when listing Dahl stories. ...in my opinion of course.

I wouldn't say it was suitable for young kids.

I found it hilarious. Not really for young kids though. My 5 year old was laughing her head off when I read one bit she did understand. I'm not giving a low rating because it's bad but because of some of the words I don't want my daughter repeating 🤭 More fore teenagers I'd say. And I'm not a prude either.

Not for school but highly amusing!

I wanted something by Roald Dahl that my year 5 class had not read before... And I came across this. Completely inappropriate to read with children in school because of two dodgy words (they rhyme with 'trap' and 'hiss'!) but I would suggest it to parents with a sense of humour. I read it in bed in about ten minutes and ended up waking my partner up because I couldn't stop laughing. It will definitely make you giggle and could be an amusing stocking filler for the 'Hyacinth Buckets' in your family. Also, it's great for anyone with dyslexia as it sheds a little humour around the topic.

I bought this for my 7 year old grandson who is dyslexic, the story allowed him to see that he was not alone and he took great comfort in that, its also a funny story that appeals to kids of all ages.

I have a first edition of this book in hard back. So of course I did not want to loan that out. Anyone with dyslexia should read this. It is very funny. This man’s mouth and brain are misbehaving and I often come out with things that really make me laugh.

Just hilarious! Ready by younger children, a good challenge for their reading. For older children and adults alike, hilarious!
