Matilda! I love her inquisitive nature, her love of books and learning and that she is a good friend.

Danny Champion of the World - he seems to be the most,likeable of Dahl’s characters!

The BFG it's such a lovely story

Little Red Riding Hood in Revolting Rhymes.... Roald Dahl completely flips the traditional victim into a strong, independent character who handles the wolf in such an unexpected way! A tale that always makes us chuckle!

I love George because he's mischevious and full of fun just like my son

Matilda. She's a very strong willed and interesting character and it's great that she loves books!

Willie Wonka, I so wanted to live and work in his wonderful world with the Oompa Loompas.

Miss Honey and Matilda who went through so much with the wicked Miss Trunchbull, but then went on and lived a very happy life together.

Charlie from Charlie and the chocolate factory, as he was such an unspoilt boy with a good heart!

GeminiJen Tue 11-Sept-18 16:02:51

Matilda. She's a book lover and feisty to boot grin

svalentine60 Tue 11-Sept-18 16:07:56

Mr Twit smile Simply because he reminds me of my old maths teacher in the early 70's. Always had food stuck in his beard and looked like he'd just rolled out of bed.

JoGibbons Tue 11-Sept-18 16:23:27

Matilda is amazing!

marpau Tue 11-Sept-18 16:38:08

Danny I just think he is the nicest boy in literature

DDP91 Tue 11-Sept-18 17:01:33

Matilda because I always wanted to be magic

Danny's Dad from "Danny the Champion of the World". Roald Dahl made him so very real in my imagination. Ingenious.

SuzM14 Tue 11-Sept-18 17:09:29

Willy Wonka...loved the factory and all the chocolate and candy creations.

Purpledaffodil Tue 11-Sept-18 18:14:51

Miss Honey in Mathilda. Such a strong woman to live independently in poverty, rather than be totally controlled by Miss Trunchbull.

Lolamia91 Tue 11-Sept-18 18:16:26

Mine has to be Fantastic Mr Fox!

Harris27 Tue 11-Sept-18 18:28:15

Willy wonka I love him so does my class! They love this story and its characters so does my granddaughter.
