Dirty Beasts is a 1983 collection of Roald Dahl poems about unsuspecting animals.

In 1984, a revised edition was published with illustrations by Quentin Blake. An audiobook recording was released in the 1980s read alternately by Prunella Scales and Timothy West; Scales narrated "The Pig", "The Scorpion", "The Porcupine", "The Cow" and "The Tummy Beast", while West narrated the rest. Later in 1998 Puffin Audiobooks published a recording featuring Pam Ferris and Geoffrey Palmer, and in 2002 Harper Audio released a recording of Alan Cumming reading both Revolting Rhymes and Dirty Beasts. An original video animation (OVA) was also released by Abbey Home Entertainment in the 1990s as part of their Tempo Video range, featuring all 9 tales told using Scales and West's audiobook recordings.

All and all it wasn't too bad, definitely not as brilliant as his novels. I just tolerated reading some parts because of Quentin Blake's fantastic illustrations. And don't get me wrong, I'm a huge crazy Roald Dahl fan! "The Tummy Beast" and "The Toad and the Snail" were genuinely funny for example. HOWEVER, I want to hold my judgment about that last part of "The Cow" and ask you, do you read the same thing I do? Isn't it super odd and racist all of a sudden?

Some of my personal favorites were Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, The Twits and George's Marvelous Medicine. But another one of my favorite stories from the Roald Dahl collection is Dirty Beasts. Dirty Beasts is about all kinds of different animals that either scare the humans or eat the humans. Most of these stories are similar to Aesop's Fables, except that they are more darker than Aesop's Fables. These stories try to tell the audience that one should not mistreat animals or else the animals will do horrible things to them such as eat them.
