Dirty Beasts

The book contains nine poems, telling of the unusual exploits of unsuspecting real animals (save for the Tummy Beast, who is made up).

Additional audiobook adaptions included one from 1998 that was narrated by Pam Ferris and Geoffrey Palmer, and a release from 2002 that featured Alan Cumming; which was combined with Revolting Rhymes.

The current 2014 digital version of the audiobook by Penguin is read by Miriam Margolyes, Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig.

It was a faithful adaption of the original story, which was told through Scales and West's audiobook recordings against animations in the style of Quentin Blake's illustrations.

Re-releases from 1997 onwards redubbed Scales and West's narration with Martin Clunes and Dawn French in the respective stories.
