Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Roald Dahl

Puffin, 2007

Great Read!
This book was good. If you love chocolate, you'll love this book. We liked the characters, especially Charlie. Boy or girl, you'll love this book. If you don't buy it, you're crazy. After you finish it, try Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. It has a lot of ...
  
  











  



  
The BFG
Roald Dahl

Puffin, 2007

A Great Classic, Review by YM, age 12
The BFG is a classic by Roald Dahl, who I think is one of the best authors I have read books by. It begins with a girl named Sophie being kidnapped by a giant from a home for orphans in England. Naturally, she is frightened of him at first, but as she gets to know the ...
  
  











  



  
Matilda
Roald Dahl

Puffin, 2007

matilda
Wonderfully written of a child, Matilda, who is a ferocious reader with special ability and great human perceptions. It may inspire children to read more, imagine and discover the treasures of what books can offer. Happens to be a favourite of my 3 and 5 year old ...
  
  











  



  
The Twits
Roald Dahl

Puffin, 2007

The Twits is the best!
My kids absolutely wore out their paperback copy of The Twits, reading it so often that I ended up buying a hardcover to save money. I have read it three times myself, and ALWAYS laugh out loud while reading it. This is a short book, but typical of a Roald Dahl book, ...
  
  











  



  
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Roald Dahl

Puffin, 2007

Dig this gem
This is one of those backyard gardens tales, featuring the ever so clever and resourceful Mr. Fox who frequently outsmarted three most unpleasant farmers, namely Boggis, Bunce and Bean, each time he went up to their farms to get his family dinner everyday. The farmes ...
  
  











  



  
Boy: Tales of Childhood
Roald Dahl

Puffin, 1999

''Some are funny. Some are painful. Some are unpleaseant. Perhaps this is why I have remembered them so vividly. All are true.''
So says Roald Dahl in the introduction to his autobiogrophy,BOY. The book is a collection of his childhood memories, from the magical summers in Norway to the dreary days at St.Peters boarding school. As in all of Dahl's works the characters are quirky and ...

James and the Giant Peach
Roald Dahl

Puffin, 2000

The Best Book Ever
James and the Giant Peach is the best book I have ever read! It is about a boy named James whose parents were killed by a rhinoceros who escaped from the London Zoo. Because he no longer had parents, James was forced to live with his two aunts who were very mean to ...
  
  











  



  
The Witches
Roald Dahl

Puffin, 2007

A Gem
I love this book! I was at my cousin's house when she had book club, and having read this many times, I forgot how great it was! Luckily, I chose to read it again, and fell in love for the second time! With characters that only Roahld Dahl himself could come up with, ...
  
  











  



  
James and the Giant Peach
Roald Dahl

Puffin, 2007

A Peachy Read For ALL Ages
Perhaps I should confess right up front that this review of what is popularly regarded solely as a children's book is being written by a 50+-year-old male "adult" who hadn't read a kids' book in many years. For me, Welsh author Roald Dahl had long been the guy who ...
  
  











  



  
Dirty Beasts
Roald Dahl

Puffin, 2002

A fun, silly book that children and adults would love
My cousin bought me this book when I was about six and I still love it (I'm 17 now). My whole family thinks it's a hilarious book and we have given it to many of our friends for presents.
  
  











  



  
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
Roald Dahl

Puffin, 2007

Charlie and the great glass elevator
My granddaughter loves the first book of this Charlie and the Chocolate factory and I thought she might like this one. She could not stop reading the first book.
  
  











  



  
Matilda (Puffin Modern Classics)
Roald Dahl

Puffin, 2004

Exquisit Child
I adored Matilda. She was born into an abusive family with dim-witted parents. All they do is watch t.v and never pay attention to Matilda. She goes to the library every single day, and checks out tons of books to take home, things like Great Expectations, A Christmas ...
  
  











  



  
The Magic Finger
Roald Dahl, Blake Quentin

Puffin, 1998

good message
Simple and a quick read...good message (depending on your perspective, I suppose) to love all creatures and have empathy.
  
  











  



  
Matilda
Roald Dahl

Viking Kestrel, NY, 1988

cute
I thought this was an entertaining little book, but as some of the negative reviews suggest, it may be a little too dark for younger children. But then again, most under-10 children (if my nieces are any guide) are going to want books with more pictures and less text ...
