    Children’s books are so special. I read with my children every night and I enjoy choosing books as much as they do. My 7 year old loves Roald Dahl so we were delighted to receive a copy of Billy and the Minpins, which we had never read before.

    15 crafts for celebrating Roald Dahl Day

    Earlier in the Summer I started reading chapter books with my 5 year old. He’s reading really well and I thought the style and humour of Roald Dahl’s books would give him extra encouragement to learn more words and improve his reading.

Can you tell I’m enjoying re-reading the books with him? Some of Roald Dahl’s most famous books are James and the Giant Peach; Charlie and the…
