The Hill Mead Literary Review

One of my favourite books is Dirty Beasts, a collection of rhymes and poems about mischievous and mysterious animals by the famous children's author Roald Dahl.

I remember reading Dirty Beasts when I was at school and the book still makes me laugh out loud. From crocky-wock the crocodile, to the clever pig who hatches a plan to save his bacon. The characters in the stories are both hilarious and ridiculous.

As with all Roald Dahl's books, it is wonderfully illustrated by Quentin Blake. I would definitely choose this book to read aloud in assembly.

What book would you like to have read out in assembly? Have you written your review yet? 

Remember the best reviews will be posted on our blog every month.
