Because they have read the original story it got them thinking about different ways how the rhyme was going to end. They also enjoyed the way the rhyme sounded when read aloud. The pictures in the book also helps the reader to imagine these characters in the rhymes.

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. Also look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! and HOUSE OF TWITS inspired by the revolting Twits. The only downside is the poems sometimes have big words that some children – even me – might not understand. One of my favourite poems is called ‘The Price of Debauchery‘ which is about a girl who lets a boy kiss her behind her house although her Mum told her not to. I learnt what debauchery means. Dahl is at his most poetic not strictly in the poems but in the interweaving of poetry and prose in his novels. The poems step outside to announce the author directly or to ensnare readers. Consider, for instance, the role of poems in the novel Matilda, published in 1988. Unlike James and the Giant Peach or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda is not studded with nonsense song and whimsical rhymes; other than a few ditties (“Mrs D, Mrs I, Mrs F I, Mrs C, Mrs U, Mrs L T Y”), the characters do not burst into poem or song. (This isnot the same in the Broadway musical adaptation of Matilda, in which the characters do burst into frequent song.) Rather, the poems in Matilda are, for the most part, poems quoted from the outside world, not ones written by Dahl. Usually, Dahl’s novels create totalizing experiences: we are in the world that the novel creates, which is distinctly separate from our daily lives. But the poems are points that break the fourth wall. The poems from the real world that enter Matilda suggest that readers can enter this world too.Outgrew – To grow too big for something or to become more mature than something, often used in the context of physical or emotional growth. Pursue – To follow or chase after someone or something, often used in the context of sports or romance. Roald Dahl is always a treat to reread, and this is no exception! When I read this last year (for that’s the timespan before rereading the same Roald Dahl - yes I’m an addict), I remember thinking it was great but not as good as its predecessor Revolting Rhymes. Having reread it, I’ve decided that that is correct.

Revue – A type of theatrical performance featuring a series of sketches, songs, or dances, often used in the context of comedy or satire. Canoe – A narrow, lightweight boat designed for use on rivers or lakes, often used for recreation or fishing. There are some absolutely dreadful poems in Rhyme Stew. The poem A Hand in the Bird is horrible! It’s about sexual assault! (A man—a vicar, to be precise—runs his hand up the leg of a woman at a church bazaar, and into her underwear! Ugh! How gross!) And the poem Physical Training is about an adult gym teacher asking her underaged student to stay behind after class and sexually assaulting him!Rhyme Stew is a 1989 collection of poems for children by Roald Dahl, illustrated by Quentin Blake. In a sense it is a more adult version of Revolting Rhymes (1982). Information on identifying editions is from Richard Walker’s “Roald Dahl – A Guide to Collecting His First Editions”.
