A book of disgusting recipes for children and adults using things you can actually eat afterwards.
I used this book in year one, it was a great book for literacy - we did instruction writing, creating recipes, cooking, shopping lists.
The children were also able to make something from the book as well.
It was also good for helping children to use bossy words.

A great book to create lesson ideas from.

This is a sort of cute accompaniment to Dahl's books. And it looks like most of the recipes would make up pretty decently. It might be fun to try a few things from a particular book someone had just read. But it failed my would-I-buy-it-for-my-grandkids test, at least for now. Not many things really caught my fancy enough to seem worth the bother.

It really is a recipe book–not much to read through–but I did enjoy the foreword about the book's inception and I love Quentin Blake's work. A fun option for Ronald Dahl lovers with unconstrained appetites.

Absolutely adorable, but a few of the recipes aren't the most kid-friendly for a little helper. That said, most of the recipes were perfect for parents and kids alike!

I received this book as a Christmas gift this year. What a fun book! I am excited to share these recipes with my granddaughter this coming summer! And one of his books...Maybe I will start with my favorite...The Fantastic Mr. Fox! "Boggis' Chicken" recipe is basically Chicken and Dumplings! And Bunce's Doughnuts sounds like something she would eat! It's a fun book and now I understand why the kids at my school library enjoyed reading this book! I just wish there would have been a bit of a summary about each of Dahl's books that were mentioned. The kids could then go and sign out the corresponding book to the recipe they are interested in trying. That would have been a great way to promote these wonderful stories!

This companion book is illustrated by Quentin Blake, with photographs by Jan Baldwin; Josie Fison and Felicity Dahl compiled the recipes. Gather up ten greedy children, a couple chickens, and a blackbird (the pastry funnel, not the winged vertebrate), and get ready to experiment in the kitchen! Recipes include Snozzcumbers (The BFG), Mosquitoes' Toes and Wampfish Roes Mostly Delicately Fried (James and the Giant Peach), and Stickjaw for Talkative Parents (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). Most recipes require adult assistance and supervision.

In school I made Frobscottle and Snozcumbers. In The BFG, Fobscottle was delicious and Snozcumbers were disgusting. When you make them out of real food, it's the other way around. True story.
