Los cuentos que nos cuenta Roald Dahl
la verdad es que no están nada mal.
Pasa revista y vuelve a contar
los cuentos clásicos
que se cuentan aquí
y en toda otra ciudad.
Son seis cuentitos
con aires mamey,
todos muy bien ilustrados
por un tal Quentin Blake.
Comienza a contar el cuento de La Cenicienta.
Ya verás cómo la historia mejora
mientras la suerte de Ceny empeora.
Con Juan y la habichuela mágica
conoceremos el fin de la historia trágica
de su madre, además de la importancia
de bañarse al menos una vez al mes, lección ya clásica.
Continuaremos con Blanca Nieves y los siete enanos,
donde concluiremos que jugar y apostar no es malo.
Luego, el cuento de Rizos y los tres osos,
donde el autor, gracias a Dios, cambia ese ñoño final,
dejando un cuento más bien divertido y criminal.
Se retoma el cuento de Caperucita Roja y el Lobo,
que en su diálogo final increpa: “¡Un cuerno!
O no sabes el cuento o tú me mientes:
¡Ahora te toca hablarme de mis dientes!
¿Me estás tomando el pelo?... Oye, mocosa,
te comeré ahora mismo y a otra cosa”.
Sin saber el hambriento Lobo bobo
que la niña no era nada babosa.
El libro termina con el cuento de Los tres cerditos,
y termina con un final sorprendente
que te hará subir y bajar de risa:
jajaja, todos tus dientes.
Si te haces de este libro, créeme, yo te lo digo,
no te arrepentirás, léelo y ya verás.

Hice trampa, hice chanchullo
lo digo con mínimo orgullo,
elegí un libro pequeño
que de nada me diera sueño.

Para terminar el reto
sin temor al simple veto,
y orgulloso 'lo he logrado'
un tunante, descarado.
Con un libro en forma de versos,
contando cuentos diversos
que de historias ancestrales,
animales cortados en canales,
princesas, doncellas y puntadas banales.

Y esta chistoso jeje.

Mi ripeto: Dahl è uno di quegli autori che tutti ə lettorə, dagli 8 anni in su, dovrebbero avere la fortuna di incontrare.
Perché? Perché è geniale, irriverente, sfrontato e non ha paura di nulla. Non è da tutti prendere in mano le fila di alcune tra le narrazioni più famose e raccontate (da Cappuccetto Rosso a Riccioli d'Oro), rimaneggiarle con cura, attenzione, ironia e uno sguardo perverso e crudele e ottenere dei veri e propri gioielli in versi!
Qui si ride, di gusto, e si torna ad apprezzare le storie che, da più piccoli, ci avevano turbato ed affascinato. Perché signorə, qui il lupo diventa una pelliccia!

Roald Dahl at his best and most satisfying. I adore this collection and have read it several times over. Just what you need to cheer your child - or indeed yourself - up on a miserable day. Stories are good for you, especially fairytales, particularly fairytale retellings in the hands of the most superb children’s author of all time. His witty rhyming poetry is such a joy to read and has such a timeless feel to it. These should be considered the definitive versions of the stories listed. (Students of the History of Fairytales, look no further!)

Enjoy these wonderful stories where Cinderella is convinced that princes are overrated, where Jack’s mother meets her match (as does Goldilocks, the little brat), where the seven dwarves enjoy a flutter, and Little Red Riding Hood is a psycho nutter!

“Hunt ähkis, puhkis, puhus taas -
ei nihkund maja mitte raas.
“See vastu taevast lendab siit,
kui appi tuleb dünamiit!”
Hunt ähvardas: “Veel täna õhtul
ma lasen selle sara õhku!”
Siis siga siunas: “Vana loru!”
Ja haaras telefonitoru.
Ning helistas see põrsapoju
nüüd Punamütsikese koju.”

yeah, i read poetry

بامزه بود

Leave it to Roald Dahl to grab me by the collar, and drag me out of a reading slump right before exams.

Still just as good when read as an adult. Trust me.

I thought this book as awesome and pretty funny which is saying something because I don't care to much for poetry. This book is thin and easy to read and if you kinda sing it in your head you can get through it pretty fast. The stories In this book are Cinderella, Jack And The Beanstalk, Snow-White And The Seven Dwarves, Goldilocks And The Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood And The Wolf, and last The Three Little Pigs. they are all spin off's but they make it a lot more funnier than the original's. I recommend this book for people who don't care for poetry.

I mean, I wasn't expecting to see the word 'slut' in a children's book today, but there we go. This is....of its time, definitely. Would I recommend? Erm, no. However I can't deny that I laughed a few times, and the rhymes are quite witty.

What an absolutely hilarious book! I used this book for one of my teaching placements in Year 3. Our main focus in English was looking at the use of drama, so the children, in pairs, each chose a poem from this book. They were all weird and wonderful, and the children absolutely howled with laughter when they were rehearsing the poems. I have never seen a class so engaged with poems before! The children performed their dramatic monologues of the poems, with the use of body and hand gestures, and focused on emphasis of different words and even voices. Such a fantastic book, every class should have a copy!
