Win Roald Dahl’s The Twits with a hairy beard cover

Posted on September 22, 2015July 1, 2019 by jenny

We’re having so much fun working our way through Roald Dahl’s books we actually have 2 on the go at the moment. We love September as the 13th September is Roald Dahl Day and we made our brilliant Mr Twit gingerbeard biscuit. The festivities continue throughout September culminating in Dahlicious Dress Up Day for Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity with a very special LIVE webcast all about Roald Dahl, streamed into schools across the world. If you know any teachers then tell them to register their school for free at www.puffinvirtuallylive.co.uk

A brilliant new hardback edition of Roald Dahl’s The Twits with a hairy beard cover was published this month. You can touch-and-feel Mr Twit’s straggly old beard and even stick bits of food in it to make it even more disgusting if you like.

The Twits with a hairy beard cover

The Twits are possibly the nastiest and most disgusting of all Roald Dahl’s characters.
They smell because they never wash, they fight because they play tricks on each other, AND they hate children. But worst of all, they keep monkeys in their back garden. In cages. It’s time for the monkeys to get their revenge on these two most revolting creatures . . .

Giveaway: win Roald Dahl’s The Twits with a special hairy beard cover

To celebrate the wonderfulness that is Roald Dahl and The Twits I have a brilliant giveaway for you today. I have 2 copies of the new hardback edition of Roald Dahl’s The Twits with a hairy beard cover! For your chance to win please answer the question and leave a blog comment on this post via the Rafflecopter widget below.

    Definitely Matilda. My daughter loves this book and have read it together since she was tiny. A lovely family read

    Without a question it’s Matilda. My youngest granddaughter was actually named after her as it is also my daughters favourite book.
