Um...not a kids book. The story tells of a man who tricks an ignorant woman to marry him. Also abusive to turtles. Definitely one of those stories where if the author wasn't who they are, no one would read this story.

Such a cute little story, I’m really loving Roald Dahl at the moment, his stories are really inspiring me and are just a lovely little welcome break from the adult world.

In my collection of Roald Dahl books, this is a fun and silly little read. I never read Roald Dahl as a child, so reading it as an adult allows me to see things on a deeper level, but I tried to keep my reading lighthearted as I turned the pages. The illustrations are adorable, as always, and allowed me to remember my page when a small child would remove the book from my hand. A much better read-aloud story to children than Giraffe and Pelly and Me. A fun story about manipulating relationships with people you want to be close to in a fun and innocent way.
