Book Squirt

D is for Dahl

When I was thinking up the authors I wanted to feature, Roald Dahl was one of the first that came to mind. His children’s books are so good!

 

 

The Charlie Set


Everyone has heard of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, but not as many people know about the sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. They are both great books that everyone should read.

 

Matilda

Matilda used to be my favorite – a little girl who loved reading as much as I did! Thankfully I have better parents than her. 🙂

 

The BFG

When I was younger I had several dreams where I got to meet the BFG. They were awesome. 😀

 

Roald Dahl Phizz-Whizzing Collection


I haven’t read all of the books in this set, but I’m sure they’re all wonderful! I might have to add them to my TBR list…

Have you read any of these? What did you think of them?

    I have to confess I’ve only read the first Charlie book, and that was a long time ago. May be time for a re-read.

    The only Dahl I’ve read is James and the Giant Peach. I’ve been trying to read some children’s books I’ve missed. I’ll put some of these on my list! Have a great day!

    Unfortunately I haven’t read any of these books yet but I did watch the movie, Matilda, and thought it was wonderful. I also recently looked at his books online though for research for one of my books.

      The movie wasn’t as good as the book, but it was still good. 🙂

      You’ve never seen any Charlie/Willy Wonka movies? Those books (at least the first one) are definitely worth a read. 🙂
