The first book my DD read all by herself was The Magic Finger. She was extremely pleased with herself and read it to me several times. smile

It has to be Matilda as my daughter has read this book so many times , I read it to her when she was little and she was hooked , she dressed as her on book day at school and we've been to see it twice at the theatre , I think she likes her courage and determination , and funny character .

At risk of being declared a numbskull I have to say I am totally new to Roald Dahl except for my first delightful intro to Matilda at the theatre. But, I do now have my first grandchild, he is a sheer delight and I have got to get to know all these amazing characters so that I can pass them on to him. Where shall I start?!

The BFG with his 'snozcumber' - we have always had snozcumber with our salads thanks to the BFG!!! grin

Love all Roald Dahl books. What a great imagination he had. My favourite though is Charlie of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I think everyone loves this story, whatever their age.

Willy Wonka as he is my type of guy and my little grandson loves him too.

Ingrid45 Wed 12-Sept-18 16:41:16

BFG - he reminds me of my granpa - called Grantin for some reason no one can remember. He has been dead for nearly 60 years and yet I can still remember him.
No idea what I did yesterday though!
