After reading a few pages I was tempted to put down this nasty, mean-spirited narrative, for good, but I kept slogging and it got a little better. The monkeys and birds don't make up for the Twits. ( ) Mr and Mrs Twit are horrible people who like to play mean practical jokes on each other and are cruel to the birds that visit their home and the monkey family they have imprisoned in their yard. Another story with terrible people and the karma they contract. The book encourages teamwork, compassion and the benefits of learning the language when visiting another country. The jokes the Twits played on each other were amusing. I enjoyed the A ridiculous but funny tale. 3.5 stars for target audience, 3 stars for me. no reviews | add a review
