Beth, I discovered Roald Dahl when I lived in England. I adored his wit, his meanness, and have bought all his children books in a colourful collection box. One or two of them I’ve given away but now I don’t know anybody reading English children books. Dahl also wrote some pretty hair-rising and mean stories for adults. š
i love everything he’s ever written. i have read some to my classes, talking about how the children and animal characters are usually better acting than the adults in his stories, and how there is a bit of magic in all of them, along with his wonderful made up words. i read his short stories for adults, and wow!
Isn’t he just a gr8 guy? And a wicked sense of humour, putting his finger always on the place where it hurts! Excellent choice – ‘your’ kids are lucky!

If only adults can crawl inside the mind of children for one day. I wonder how their lives might be different once they crawled out.
