This is the first part of three installments reading Roald Dahl's "Revolting Rhymes". In this podcast I read aloud the tales of Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk.

Just so you know there is a tiny bit of bad language (more rude than sweary) around the 7.20-7.25 mark if you want to filter or miss out. I'm just reading what's on the page!!!!Poem one starts straight after the intro music, poem 2 starts at 8.30

Cinderella

Why do you think Roald Dahl warns you at the very start of the poem?

What does ‘cooked up’ mean?

How did Cinderella feel when the fairy appeared?

What was the crate of beer for? How does this make you feel about the prince?

When the prince found the owner of the show what did he do?

Who did Cinderella marry?

Which version of Cinderella do you prefer and why?

Jack and the Beanstalk

What colour was the cow?

Which word tells you mum threw the bean away?

What did Jack mean when he described the giant as having ‘a clever nose’?

Once Jack had his wash, he smelt like what…?

What do you think the moral of this rewritten tale is?

Which version of Jack and the Beanstalk do you prefer and why?
