Roald Dahl and Roald Dahl Day
"I have a passion for teaching kids to become readers, to
become comfortable with a book, not daunted. Books shouldn’t be daunting, they
should be funny, exciting and wonderful; and learning to be a reader gives a
terrific advantage.”
Roald Dahl
Roald Dahl was one of the world's most popular
children's authors, publishing 21 children's books (as well as many
adult stories) including the well-loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda,
The BFG and James and the Giant Peach.
13th September, Roald Dahl's birthday, has been declared "Roald Dahl Day".
