About this book

The beloved children’s author Roald Dahl was full of ideas of sticky, bristly, squishy, smelly things. Inspired by his words and the classic illustrations of Quentin Blake, Puffin books have created a super-fun touch-and-feel book to make you squirm.

Brilliant for readers who enjoy interactive books, there is a different texture to experience on each page – if you can bring yourself to touch them! There’s a bushy beard, a scratchy giant’s foot, a squishy rotten egg, and more. This humorous book is great for kids who love tactile elements, have a sense of fun or are Roald Dahl fans.

About the author

Sitting in a hut at the bottom of his garden, surrounded by odd bits and pieces such as a suitcase (used as a footrest), his own hipbone (which he'd had replaced) and a heavy ball of metal foil (made from years' worth of chocolate wrappers), Roald Dahl wrote some of the world's best-loved stories including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Twits, The Witches, The BFG, Fantastic Mr Fox, James and the Giant Peach and lots more.
