Tangerine Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Anyone celebrating Roald Dahl Day? We made up silly words with definitions this morning. Then we went to the bookstore and each small person picked a Roald Dahl book. We're watching Fantastic Mr. Fox this afternoon. Then for dinner we're having Mr. Fox's Chicken and Dumplings and James and the Giant Peach Cobbler. The most exciting development though, is that we're going to start reading chapter books for nighttime. We start Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tonight. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belacqua Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Maybe I'll celebrate privately by re-reading some of his adult stories (not adult like X rated, just not for kids :)). The Way Up to Heaven is possibly my favorite story ever (why, yes, I do hate being late!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmoira Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Quentin Blake on Dahl's shed (currently a centre of controversy due to the family's recent request for donations): http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2008/may/23/writers.rooms.roald.dahl And a little quiz: http://www.guardian.co.uk/childrens-books-site/quiz/2011/sep/13/roald-dahl-quiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyw Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Oh how we love Roald Dahl in our house. I think I might like him even more than the kids. Such a wonderfully imaginative writer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negin Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Roald Dahl. :D If you're on pinterest, there's quite a bit of Roald Dahl pins you can add or enjoy. :) Here's just one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Two of my girls open in Willy Wonks Jr Friday. We've been steeped in Dahl for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickelfritz Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 We love Roald Dahl here. He's one that I even enjoy, though I confess that we mostly do audio books. We're currently listening to "The Twits." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
