I read this rhyme to my two nieces (8 and 9 years old) and they also enjoyed the Hare and the Tortoise rhyme. Because they have read the original story it got them thinking about different ways how the rhyme was going to end. They also enjoyed the way the rhyme sounded when read aloud. The pictures in the book also helps the reader to imagine these characters in the rhymes.

It's no surprise that his sinister version of "Hansel and Gretel" is my favorite. Something unique about this one is this little addition toward the end:

Our sympathies lie with the echidna, not with the rotten kid, and we cheer at the end when the beast turns on Roy for dessert.Pew – A type of bench used for seating in a church or other religious institution, often made of wood or other sturdy materials. Roald Dahl is one of my favorite authors, and as a child, I re-read his books over and over. And from time to time as an adult, I re-read some of my favorites, such as Matilda, The Witches, and The BFG. Recently, I felt the urge to re-read some of the books I was less familiar with, such as Rhyme Stew.

Rhyme Stew is a collection of poems by Roald Dahl who has used a range of classic childrens stories and transformed them into short rhymes. Such rhymes include the Emporors new clothes, Hansel and Gretel and the Hare and the Tortoise amongst many more. I enjoyed reading these rhymes because they tell a story whilst still keeping the reader interested. I particularly enjoyed reading the rhyme based on the hare and the tortoise childrens story. Although it has some similarities to the original story such as the tortoise and the hare taking part in a race. It also includes a different twist and turn to the ending which made it more interesting to read, because you want to know what is going to happen next.Seu – A Korean term meaning “hand,” often used in the context of martial arts or traditional Korean culture.

Nu – A Greek letter often used in mathematics or physics to represent various quantities or variables. Dahl is at his most poetic not strictly in the poems but in the interweaving of poetry and prose in his novels. The poems step outside to announce the author directly or to ensnare readers. Consider, for instance, the role of poems in the novel Matilda, published in 1988. Unlike James and the Giant Peach or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda is not studded with nonsense song and whimsical rhymes; other than a few ditties (“Mrs D, Mrs I, Mrs F I, Mrs C, Mrs U, Mrs L T Y”), the characters do not burst into poem or song. (This isnot the same in the Broadway musical adaptation of Matilda, in which the characters do burst into frequent song.) Rather, the poems in Matilda are, for the most part, poems quoted from the outside world, not ones written by Dahl. Usually, Dahl’s novels create totalizing experiences: we are in the world that the novel creates, which is distinctly separate from our daily lives. But the poems are points that break the fourth wall. The poems from the real world that enter Matilda suggest that readers can enter this world too. Hansel and Gretel, whilst wonderfully written, is a very classic adaptation of the story without the Dahlesque twists that made the above poems so fab. The Price of Debauchery was fun (and quite apt!) but a bit short. The other poems were amusing but weren’t quite as striking. The Emperor's New Clothes - typical tale of a king who doesn't want to appear stupid so agrees to some sea-through ski clothes and then freezes to death. Sinew – A tough, fibrous tissue that connects muscles to bones, often used in the context of anatomy or physiology.Roald Dahl basically took some well-known fables and tales and turned them into silly rhymes. We all know how Roald Dahl had quite the imagination, so this collection can be crazy and hilarious. Some of the rhymes are a bit too risqué and aren't really suited for kids as they reference sex, adultery, and even cannabalism, but I think some of it would likely go unnoticed. Definitely read at your own risk! Others are completely harmless.
