Willy Wonka because he has such mad but great ideas for chocolate and I want to go to his factory and try them all.

I love Danny, reminds me we often had a delicious meal of roast pheasant....whenever Dad had "found" one.

Matilda is my favourite character because she loves books and spends her childhood in the library just like myself.

The clever and resourceful Mr Fox in ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’. My children loved this story when it first came out in the 1970’s.

I love Matilda xx

The BFG fun but a bit scary

Nettie17 Sun 23-Sept-18 18:07:15

Matilda because she has the adults weighed up

Fantastic Mr Fox is my favourite. I love the fact that he is so clever and kind.

Andii Sun 23-Sept-18 18:40:06

Matilda because she's smart, brave and a little bookworm!

It has to be Willy Wonka. The whole family adore chocolate so we would have loved to have won that golden ticket!

I love Matilda for her spirit. Not giving in and initiative

chezvic Sun 23-Sept-18 21:29:16

Sophie from the BFG, I love her adventures and she’s such a believable little character

greig23 Sun 23-Sept-18 21:44:56

Willy Wonka as he seems fun and genuine

Maren Sun 23-Sept-18 22:06:16

Sophie from the BFG - so courageous yet kind

Ducksy21 Mon 24-Sept-18 06:59:49

Fantastic Mr Fox, such a likeable but cunning character.

Charlie Bucket for his concern and love for his grandparents

Nansypansy Mon 24-Sept-18 08:16:42

Definitely willie wonka because that’s the character the children relate to most.

Lydia30 Mon 24-Sept-18 09:15:38

The BFG as he shows that you don't have to be the same as everybody else to be 'normal'

circe13 Mon 24-Sept-18 09:50:26

Fantastic Mr Fox is a brilliant story. I like the way he gets the better of the three farmers.

Rainbowwitch1 Mon 24-Sept-18 09:50:44

Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate factory is my favourite character

wattsavage Mon 24-Sept-18 09:59:20

Matilda

treeoflife78 Mon 24-Sept-18 10:32:47

Matilda is my favourite character. Using the power inside of her to rise above the negative people around her.

jeanniev1 Mon 24-Sept-18 10:42:04

It has to be the BFG who brings such humour to the story with his hilarious language. The serious side of the sad life of Sophie, befriended and taken on adventures with the BFG is very close to my heart having been a foster carer for 30 years and has enabled me to `educate firstly my children and now my grandchildren about the necessity of those of us who have so much to give both time and effort to those not so fortunate. It really is an awe-inspiring tale told around this central character of the BFG.

James either with or without his giant peach! This was my first Roald Dahl novel and always my favourite.

minilynn3 Mon 24-Sept-18 12:24:21

Matilda is my favourite because i love to read as well!
