The BFG was one among the first among many Roald Dald books we started reading. They are all interrupting. Got two grandsons and another baby on the way. These books will be a great addition to the one they already have. Never get fed up. Every night a story.....over and over again.

The BFG. I love books about giants.

Mr Twit ! What a delightful character. The way he is described you can almost smell that beard.

Has to be Charlie Bucket, because his honesty won him the Chocolate Factory.

The BFG because he is gentle and charming.

Matilda. My granddaughters love her character and always want to dress as her on RD day at school every year. Through their enthusiasm, I have grown to love her too.

I really can't pick! I just love Roald Dahl books and love so many of the wierdr, wonderful and interesting characters.

I love the Twits! I loved Mr Twit kept food in his beard for later!

Augustus Gloop was my favourite a man after my own heart. I even drew a picture of him in infants school, my mum probably still has it somewhere.

I love Matilda as she loves to read

donnab31 Tue 11-Sept-18 21:19:29

Fantastic Mr Fox was one of my favourites as a child and George now that I'm an adult! I grew up on these books and can't wait to read them to the youngest little people in our family!

Danny's father in Danny The Champion Of The World. Just a great role model.

GlitterFizz Tue 11-Sept-18 20:47:57

As a teacher I have to say my favourite is Matilda.....such a sassy little girl, before her time and an inspiration !

freefan Tue 11-Sept-18 20:43:30

Charlie from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a little boy who shone for being honest and compassionate and who won through. Such a lovely character created within an iconic story.

vixxx666 Tue 11-Sept-18 20:41:05

Matilda, because I can resonate so much with her.

Andrea1 Tue 11-Sept-18 20:30:27

I like Mr Hoppy from Esio Trot because he is an old romantic.

MSHGW Tue 11-Sept-18 20:28:31

Miss Honey from Matilda. She's so kind and patient.

lillyfer Tue 11-Sept-18 19:45:18

Charlie Bucket that little guy lived the dream. I loved the book as a child.

Emj093 Tue 11-Sept-18 19:27:20

Definitely Matilda: I identified so much with her as a child (though, sadly, didn't possess her powers) and love offering the book to little readers at school so that they can see the same.

agreaves19 Tue 11-Sept-18 19:25:12

My daughter has always loved Matilda, she has such a fun loving character

pennwood Tue 11-Sept-18 19:23:53

It has to be Willy Wonka as he was such a character.

Lydia219508 Tue 11-Sept-18 19:20:05

I like Grandpa Joe from Charlie and th chocolate factory because he’s selfless and fun and is a great grandparent and role model
