Mrs McIver-Brown reading from Dirty Beasts

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs by Roald Dahl

This is a poem from one of my favourite books of short stories and poems called Funny Stories. This one is a poem created by Roald Dahl based on the story of Snow White.

Handsel and Gristle by Michael Rosen

This is a story from one of my favourite books - a collection of short stories and poems. This story uses a lot of “play on words” and other words used in place of the proper ones. I hope it makes you smile. Mrs Davis
