avg rating
2036 reviews
The Twits are possibly the nastiest and most digusting of all Roald Dahl’s characters.
Frogs in beds; Eyeballs in drinks; Worms in spaghetti
Mr and Mrs Twit are really disgusting. They smell because they never wash, they fight because they play tricks on each other, AND they hate children. But worst of all, they keep monkeys in their back garden. In cages. It’s time for the monkeys to get their revenge on these two most revolting creatures . . .
meet the Muggle-Wump monkeys and the Roly-Poly bird!*
with a great new cover by Quentin Blake, and a whole exciting section about Roald Dahl and his world***
‘A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero’ – David Walliams
Roald Dahl, the best-loved of children’s writers, was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. After school in England he went to work for Shell in Africa. He began to write after ""a monumental bash on the head"", sustained as an RAF pilot in World War II. Roald Dahl died in 1990.
Quentin Blake is one of the best-known and best-loved children’s illustrators and it’s impossible now to think of Roald Dahl’s writings without imagining Quentin Blake’s illustrations.

I like the monkeys. They are smart though they were in cage for so long. They came out with birds' help, but then use their ways to make Mr and Mrs Twists understand their feelings when being locked in a cage
Interesting
Found it very interesting
I loved the twits. It is very funny. I would recommend it to everyone
This book is so gross and funny
It is a book about these cruel and nasty people who are very mean to animals and in the end they die somehow. Get the book to find out!
I like the monkeys and feel sad for them. I am happy they are freed at the end. I think the tricks that the Twits do to each other are funny.
Brilliant
The twits are disgusting and funny. They prank each other it makes me laugh
I liked it when Mrs Twit fed mr Twit the worms instead of spaghetti!
Some of the language is hard to read but the story is very good. I liked it when the animals got their own back at the end
I think this is a wonderful book. It was very funny when Mr Twit and Mrs Twit do pranks on each other. Especially when Mr Twit said Mrs Twit is getting shorter. My favourite character is the monkeys when they put everything upside down. I would recommend it to 4 to 9.
I like the monkeys and that they play tricks on them
I like the monkeys and that they play tricks on them
This is my favourite book I have read it so many times
I love the twits, especially the monkeys who glue everything to the ceiling so Mr Twit has to stand on his head!
I thought it was funny when they got stuck on the ceiling.
I liked the mean things they did to eachother
I loved it.
I loved this book because the Twits are ugly and they keep doing silly things to each other.
I thought it was really good because the Mugglewump family escaped and Mr and Mrs Twit got glue all over their heads and had to do handstands and their heads shrunk into their necks and their necks shrunk into their bodies and their bodies shrunk into their legs and their legs shrank into their feet
The twins were so mean and horrible , the animals gluing them to the ceiling was super funny
Good but not great
Fab u lous!
Fun
There was no good character in this book. The twits were horrible but the bird and the monkeys helped
When they went upside down
I’d recommend The Twits to young readers who enjoy silly, disgusting and slightly dark humour. I enjoyed how ridiculous the characters are and the funny tricks they play on each other. The book made me think about how being cruel and unpleasant can make someone ugly on the inside as well as the outside. I also liked that the monkeys eventually outsmart the Twits and escape.
I would recommend it to children around 7–11, especially those who enjoy Roald Dahl’s other books. There are some content warnings, including cruelty towards animals, bullying, violence, disgusting food and lots of gross-out humour. These are all exaggerated for comedy, but some younger or more sensitive readers might find them unpleasant.
I loved it
I love this book- we went to Roald Dahl museum
