The Tortoise and the Hare and The Emperor’s New Clothes are some of the better poems, probably because they are more like the Revolting Rhymes poems, which are twists on fairy tales.

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. Most of the stories contain slight sexual references. Due to slightly risqué material this book carries a warning that it is unsuitable for "small people". Interview – A meeting or conversation between two or more people, often used in the context of job interviews or journalism.

I don’t recall anything about Rhyme Stew, as I probably only read it a couple of times, decades ago, so it’s like re-reading it for the first time. I probably loved it as an 8 year old, but nearly 30 years later, not so much. Revolting Rhymes is definitely much better.
