Using a series of \"clever tricks,\" he disguises himself in increasingly ridiculous ways—from a seesaw to a fairground ride—in an effort to lure his unsuspecting prey. However, the other jungle animals—including Trunky the Elephant, Muggle-Wump the Monkey, and the Roly-Poly Bird—band together to foil his wicked schemes. With Quentin Blake’s lively illustrations and Dahl’s trademark wit and rhythm, the book delivers a strong message about greed and cruelty in a way that’s entertaining, zany, and satisfying for young readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"871\" data-end=\"895\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"875\" data-end=\"895\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"897\" data-end=\"1638\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"897\" data-end=\"911\"\u003eRoald Dahl\u003c\/strong\u003e (1916–1990) was a British author and former Royal Air Force pilot, widely regarded as one of the greatest children's storytellers of the 20th century.
