Dirty Beasts is about all kinds of different animals that either scare the humans or eat the humans. Most of these stories are similar to Aesop's Fables, except that they are more darker than Aesop's Fables. These stories try to tell the audience that one should not mistreat animals or else the animals will do horrible things to them such as eat them.

Bring a world of giant peaches and talking insects to life in your classroom with these brilliant beyond belief YPO lesson plans. Several lesson plans for various chapters in the book, which develop various skills through wordplay, drama and many other methods Roald Dahl does an excellent job in being creative and exaggerating about the animals antics such as, herbivores like the Pig and the Anteater eating up humans like they are meat. Quentin Blake's illustrations greatly enhances the mood of the story as the characters are drawn wryly and sometimes eerily, such as the illustrations of the Lion looming over the waiter and the Crocodile coming into the boy and the father's room and smiling eerily and hungrily at them. With Roald Dahl's master storytelling and Quentin Blake's surreal drawings combined, they make Dirty Beasts a funny and scary book at the same time.

Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer and screenwriter of Norwegian descent, who rose to prominence in the 1940's with works for both children and adults, and became one of the world's bestselling authors. An original video animation (OVA) was also released by Abbey Home Entertainment in the 1990s as part of their Tempo Video range, featuring all 9 tales told using Scales and West's audiobook recordings. Re-releases from 1996 onwards had their narrations re-recorded by Dawn French and Martin Clunes in the respective stories. Dirty Beasts(originally published in 1983) is a collection of poems from acclaimed British author Roald Dahl about, as the publisher says, "unsuspecting animals." Fun activity to help improve students’ ability to write with descriptive details that allow the reader to visualize in their head.

All and all it wasn't too bad, definitely not as brilliant as his novels. I just tolerated reading some parts because of Quentin Blake's fantastic illustrations. And don't get me wrong, I'm a huge crazy Roald Dahl fan! "The Tummy Beast" and "The Toad and the Snail" were genuinely funny for example. HOWEVER, I want to hold my judgment about that last part of "The Cow" and ask you, do you read the same thing I do? Isn't it super odd and racist all of a sudden? (Welp, I guess I couldn't hold it in.)
