Roald Dahl

• One thing that I like about Roald Dahls poems is
  that he makes them funny and keeps you
  interested.
• As you may already know, Roald writes many books
  but mostly fantasy books.So I think that he likes
  to start fresh and make writing his!
• Roald has sold many books so far in his life, and
  Im sure he will always be great at what he does
  and never give up!

Marilyn Singer

• Now I dont know that much about Marilyn Singer,
  but from what I read, she is very talented at
  what she does.
• I had a couple favorite poems that I read of
  hers. But the one Im going to share with you is
  called King Kong.(on the next page)
• Also when I was reading her book, I saw some
  great illustrations by Gris Grimly. I think they
  make a great team!

My favorite poems by Roald Dahl and Marilyn Singer

• King Kong by Marilyn Singer Alas, King Kong, he
  sealed his fate when he climbed up the Empire
  State Oh, whyd he try this great escape? Cause
  they called him a monkey and he was an ape!
• The Lion by Roald Dahl The lion just adores to
  eat a lot of tender red meat, and if you ask the
  lion what is much the tenderest of the lot, he
  will say roast lamb or curried beef or devilled
  ham or crispy pork or corned beef hash or
  sausages or mutton mash. Then could it be a big
  plump hen? He answers no. What is it then? Oh
  lion dear, could could I not make you happy with
  a lovely steak? Could I entice you from your lair
  with rabbit-pie or roasted hair? The lion smiled
  and shook his head. He came up very close and
  said, The meat I chew is neither steak or
  chops. ITS YOU.
