«Dirty Beasts» is a children's book of humorous poems by Roald Dahl, published by Penguin Random House in hardback (80 pages, in English).
Rhymes featuring grotesque and mischievous animals that behave in unexpected and far from exemplary ways. Between black humour and wild fun, the poems present hungry, noisy and bad-tempered creatures, with Quentin Blake's characteristic illustrations.
Originally published in 1983; the 2012 hardback edition includes illustrations by Quentin Blake.
Aimed at children and young people, although its acerbic humour and irreverent rhymes also make it enjoyable for adults.
Roald Dahl was a British author of popular children's literature and short stories, a poet, screenwriter and a wartime fighter ace. His books have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide. He has been called "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century".
