Roald Dahl, "The Twits"

Roald Dahl has writewrotewritten a lot of very funny books for children. We have just readreadread“The Twits” which is a book about a horrid old couple. It is not easy to understandunderstoodunderstood how somebody can be as mean towards each other as those two!  Roald Dahl has drawdrewdrawn a picture of some unlovable old people.  Last week when we readreadread the book, we all the time saw how beastly they behaved. They never speakspokespoken to anybody outside their house. We also got to know how unfriendly they speakspokespoken to each other as well! I am quite sure they have never speakspokespoken one friendly word to each other for several years. Roald Dahl has understood how to writewrotewritten books for children in order to make them laugh a lot! This he understood several years ago, because this is not the only book he has writewrotewritten.

In addition to the text, Quentin Blake has illustrated some of the books. He drawdrewdrawn some very good drawings, where we see Mr. and Mrs. Twit as ugly as we imagine through the stories. Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake have probably speakspokespoken at lot about how the characters should look like. The illustrator understandunderstoodunderstood what Roald Dahl meant when he writewrotewritten about a twit.
