Roald Dahl

Quentin Blake

A Dahl story in which the giraffe, the pelican and the agile monkey set out to prove that they are the best window-cleaning company around.

What a delightful little book. Definitely not Dahl’s finest, I think I prefer his longer books, but certainly enjoyable nevertheless.

It’s probably best to just go into this book only knowing that you like Dahl’s other work because it is so short.

It was just a whimsical and charming story that was well written and beautifully illustrated (by Quentin Blake), but there wasn’t much to it ultimately.

There’s not too much to comment on other than I loved the Wonka factory reference.
