This book has six stories, and they are all ones I remember reading when I was a child. Because I already knew the stories, it was easier to read them in English.

Didn't like the king chopping off people's heads.

In the 3 little pigs when little red riding hood came to save the pigs but she shot one. This was funny.

I love the book especially the rhymes. It is amusing and entertaining. It is also very exciting and I could not wait to find out what happen next in each of the stories. I would recommend it to anyone who likes Roald Dahl and wants to read different version of some famous fairy-tales including Jack and the Beanstalk.

I liked how it made fairy tales sometimes gory and I liked how it was rhyming. It was funny sometimes because some of the stories had people's heads cut off.

A classic. Just re read this book and it still made be smile and laugh out loud. Roald Dahl is the master of words and unexpected plot twists. It is hard to choose a favourite rhyme but it has to be Little Red Riding Hood because of the lines ‘The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers. She whips a pistol from her knickers.’ And ‘ She said, “Hello, and do please note My lovely furry wolfskin coat.”’ Pure genius

I like how Roald Dahl has put a twist on the fables. My favourite was the three pigs best in my opinion.

This book is about fairy tales re written in rhymes with revolting endings. I like the part where cinderella sees her wicked sister get what she deserves from the Prince.
