Meet the main characters from each story illustrated by Quentin Blake, and then let them guide you around their worlds, introducing you to the rest of the cast! The die-cut pages let you create a wonderful work of art inside a book - simply press out parts of the pages to reveal a glorious parade of characters, interacting with each other in quirky and mischievous ways - plus press out and keep some of your favourites!

Includes an envelope inside the back cover, to store the press-out characters.

The fantastic characters from Roald Dahl's books are presented in an entirely new way. Die-cut pages allow you to flip through the colourful book, pressing out the shapes and peeking through to the treats that lie ahead, to create a parade of heroes and villains, from tyrannical monsters to big friendly giants!
