Summary: *A Hillarious Book*
Review: If you have not read the book called The Twits, by Roald Dahl, you might want to read it some time. It's a book about two people that are very grumpy and very ugly. Most books don't actually make you laugh out loud, but this one will. There are several reasons why I like this book the best. One reason is how the Twits are always pulling pranks on each other. One of the pranks is when Mr. Twit tells Mrs. Twit she has got the shrinks. The shrinks are when you get shorter and shorter until you disappear. Mr. Twit makes Mrs. Twit believe she has really got the shrinks by cutting the wood off the bottom of her chair legs. After Mr. Twit cuts the wood of of her chair he adds it onto her cane she walks with to make it look taller than her. Mrs. Twit doesn't know that pretty soon she will disappear, until Mr. Twit tells her. Then Mrs. Twit starts to worry. Mrs. Twit finally figures out that Mr. Twit is trying to get her back for the prank Mrs. Twit pulled on him by putting worms in his spaghetti. Another thing I think is funny about this book is when Mr. Twit puts super sticky glue on the big dead tree in his back yard that all the birds sit on. Mr. Twit puts glue on the tree so that he can catch birds for bird pie. Mr. Twit doesn't care what kind of bird it is as long as he gets his bird pie for dessert. One day, Mr. Twits monkeys try to tell the birds that there is glue on the tree and they need to land somewhere else but the birds can't understand monkey language. That night Mr. Twit got his bird pie for dessert. The next day a pretty bird called the Roly-Poly Bird came and was about to land on the tree until the monkeys yelled "Don't land on the tree there is super sticky glue on it." So the bird went over to the cage. The Roly-Poly Bird could understand monkey language. The next day when the birds came back to land on the tree the Roly-Poly Bird told them not to land on the tree because there is super sticky glue on the tree. So all the birds came and landed on the monkey cage. That day Mr. Twit did not get any bird pie. The next day Mr. Twit put some glue on the monkey cage and the Roly-Poly Bird had to tell the other birds to land somewhere else because the cage had super sticky glue on it. So the bird landed on the house and Mr. Twit went to get guns. While Mr. and Mrs. Twit were gone buying guns they made the monkeys stand on their heads until they got back. This is my other reason why I like this book. The monkeys finally get tired of standing on their heads and decide to do something about it. They ask the Roly-Poly Bird to get all the birds to come to the cage. When all the birds get there they asked them to go and get the key Ms. Twit put under the rug in front of the door. When the bird goes the key it opened the house and went inside. A couple other birds went to get a whole bunch of super sticky glue. The monkeys had a key of their cage and the Roly-Poly Bird let them out. All of the birds went inside the Twit's house. The monkeys had all the birds' fly up and smear glue all over the ceiling. When that was done they had them stick all the furniture all through the house on the ceiling including anything else that was on the floor. When they were done all the birds and monkeys went outside and they bird that got the key locked the door and put the key back under the rug. When the Twits walked in their house they were confused. The Twits really thought they were upside down, so the monkey's plan worked. Mr. Twit said that if they stand on their heads that the won't be upside down anymore. So they stood on their heads. They decided it didn't work so they tried to stand back up, but the monkeys had dropped some glue on the floor and they were stuck there forever, until one day when they disappeared. Although there are many good books to choose from, The Twits is my favorite.

Summary: "The Twits"-* A humorous book for the whole family*
Review: Amanda Dooly

The Twits
If you want a crazy and exciting book to read that will make you howl with laughter, The Twits by Roald Dahl, will be the perfect choice. Mr. and Mrs. Twit live in an old barn house without windows. Mr. Twit's pets are a family of monkeys. In the beginning, I like how the Twits think up foolish ways to be cruel to each other. For example, Mrs. Twit decides to put worms in Mr. Twit's spaghetti one night. Mr. Twit eats all of his spaghetti not knowing that it has worms in it. After he finishes his dinner, Mrs. Twit tells him that he has eaten a plate full of worms. To get revenge, Mr. Twit makes his wife's walking cane longer than she is, so it looks like she is getting the "shrinks". The "shrinks" happen when someone gets shorter, and soon disappears altogether. Another example of cruelty is when Mr. Twit ties balloons around his wife's head and neck, and ties a rope around her ankles. The rope is connected to a stake in the ground. He snips the rope from the stake, and lets her go flying up into the sky. He finally thinks that he has gotten rid of her.
A second reason I like this book is because of what Mr. Twit's monkeys do to make the Twits' lives miserable. One example is when the monkeys try to shoo away the birds from the Twits' house. Mr. and Mrs. Twit love Bird Pie! They put sticky glue on the tree in their yard. When the birds perch on the tree, they stick, and can't go anywhere. The Twits soon collect the trapped birds and cook them for supper. When the monkeys scare the birds, the Twits have no Bird Pie. Another example of how the monkeys make the Twits' lives miserable is when they and their friend, the Roly-Poly Bird, work together. The Roly-Poly Bird and the monkeys shoo away the other birds from the sticky, glued trees. Mr. Twit finds that there are no birds, so he decides to put glue on the monkeys' cage instead. When that doesn't work, he paints the glue on the roof of his barn house. The Roly-Poly Bird and monkeys frighten the birds away from the roof. The Twits finally decide to buy guns and shoot the birds in the sky.
The last reason why I like this book is because Roald Dahl is a very humorous, children's author. He likes to make his readers laugh. Dahl is a very good writer because I couldn't stop laughing throughout the book. He uses simple words to create a funny story. Something very comical happens at the end of the book. If you would like to find out, you will have to read this book yourself. In conclusion, I would say this is the best book that I have read in a very long time!

Summary: The Twits
Review: The Twits is a book about 2 nitwits that are always playing nasty tricks on each other, like putting frogs in beds, or popping out glass eyes and putting them in beer. The problem is that the muggle-wumps, the monkeys,have to stand on their heads for about 24 hours at a time,or the Twits will hit them! The rest of it is so funny that I can't describe it!I would highly recommend this to the other people in 2nd grade.

Summary: Funny book
Review: This is a WEIRD and funny book. I read it aloud to 4th and 5th graders. Be careful, there are things I chose to leave out...parts about drinking beer, etc. etc. and violence between man and wife, but the kids really saw the humor in it!

Summary: Devilishly Funny
Review: The Twits is so hilarious. I've always been a fan Roald Dahl's, but I had never experienced this comic gem. The giggling begins on the first page, and it reaches a huge climax a quick 76 pages later. You will probably be doubled over laughing by then. Everything about the book is funny as you watch Mr. and Mrs. Twit pull prank after totally original prank on each other (the pranks include frogs, glass eyes, and balloons among other things). Then, you find out that the mean, awful Twits have been trying to raise an upside down monkey circus, and the monkeys want to get their freedom and to get back at the Twits. Their ingenious plot to get back at the Twits provides the biggest laughs of the book. Even the small descriptions are funny. My favorite line in the book comes when Dahl is describing the yard. He writes of the tree: "To one side (of the house) there is The Big Dead Tree. It never has any leaves on it because it's dead." I'm not totally sure why, but that line almost had me crying. This is one of the most fun reads I've ever had, and the illustrations are great, too. Anytime you're feeling bad, I would certainly suggest this delightful (even if a little mean) read.

Summary: JUNGLE JUSTICE
Review: The Twits (a British pop culture term from the 50's) are really a disgustingly nasty couple who deserve each other. When not playing gross and cruel practical jokes on each other--which escalate into unadulterated viciousness--they plot to catch our feathered friends for their weekly Bird Pie. Complete with tiny birdie feet sticking out from the crust like so many skimpy crosses. Ugh...

Well, anyway, their caged monekys increasingly resent being tortured in their topsy-turvy world, so with the aid of an exotic bird from their native Africa, the simian family seeks freedom and jungle justice for these pitiful excuses for human beings. The silly tale reads quickly--enhanced by the ridiculously skuzzy illustrations by Quentin Blake, who packs 75 sketches into 76 pages. It's such a revolting burlesque that it's almost funny. Offering no social redemption or character development, THE TWITS is a light read down the road of literary lunacy--cute withall.

Summary: The Twits
Review: The book that I am doing a book review for is "The Twits" by- Roald Dahl. The book The Twits was about Mr. and Mrs. Twit. Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the meanest people that you will ever want to meet. Mr. and Mrs. Twit. Play mean nasty jokes on each other. My favorite part in the story is when Mrs. Twit took out her glass eye and put it in Mr. Twit's mug of beer. My favorite character was Mrs. Twit. No matter what Mr. Twit did she always got him back. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend!!
