Children of all ages have read and enjoyed books by Roald Dahl! Many of his stories have become classics in their own time while others have been re-created into movies for all ages to enjoy. Although Roald Dahl passed away in 1990, he truly is a writer of books we will continue to enjoy.
September is Roald Dahl month. In celebration of his birthday, four new books are set for release. One is The Missing Golden Ticket and Other Splendiferous Secrets, which is said to be a ‘top secret’ missing chapter from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Visit the official Roald Dahl site for more information.
Everyone has a favorite story by Roald Dahl? What is yours? Roald Dahl teamed up with illustrator Quentin Blake to create books of magical worlds hidden away in our imaginations. Of children he said, “They love being spooked, they love chocolates and toys and money . . . they love being made to giggle.” Many of his books were written to do just that! His tales are indeed treasures for all ages of readers.
I have two favorites, The Twits & Fantastic Mr. Fox!
