They play beastly tricks and they not only play them on each other- they are quite likely to involve the unsuspecting local birds or the Muggle-Wumps, the family of monkeys. But the time comes for revenge and the Twist deserve their nasty and comical fate. Wickedly funny. Worked well as a read-aloud. 0.139 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review

The misanthropic Mr. and Mrs. Twit become the target of revenge by the monkeys (with the help of the Roly-Poly Bird and other English birds)--who have finally had enough. Of course, nasty people cannot be expected to come to a good end, and the monkeys craftily strategize to turn the tables on the horrible couple.
The underlying moral here is that no matter what you look like physically, if you have good thoughts, they will shine right through and make you a beautiful person, and of course the opposite also unfortunately applies.
