A note for parents
The Twits is a darkly comic picture book where two cruel, ugly characters are mocked for their behavior and ultimately outwitted by monkeys they've mistreated. While there's mild slapstick violence and some crude humor reflecting the characters' unpleasantness, the story ultimately rewards cleverness and kindness over meanness. The cartoonish illustrations soften the darker elements, making it appropriate for most elementary readers who enjoy Roald Dahl's irreverent humor.
