About this eBook
The Winning Entries of the most REVOLTING Poetry Competition!
To celebrate the BBC's new two-part animation of Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes, the Roald Dahl Literary Estate launched a poetry competition with a twist, asking chiddlers far and wide to submit their most revolting - and humorous rhymes. We were inundated with thousands of disgusterous entries! To discover our winners, we waded through burps, farts and rotten eggs; bogies, vile stew and goo to find the funniest and most revolting specimens. This eBook contains the crème de la phlegm-hand picked by children's author, songwriter and McFly frontman, Tom Fletcher, and Wales's Children's Poet Laureate, Anni Llyn.
A huge thank you to our revolting partners Puffin Books, the National Literacy Trust, Literature Wales, Magic Light, and the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre for all their help and support!

This is a really funny book and I love how instead of all of the rhymes being by one person and about one Roald Dahl book, it is very varied and is about lots of different Roald Dahl books and by many people. The main reason why I like this book is about how all of them are written by children from all around the world. It is a very inspiring book because it shows children that even though they are young they still have a voice while writing poetry. All in all, this is a great book and I definitely recommend it. 👌
