The Gloriumptious Worlds of Roald Dahl
Today we are celebrating 100 years of the fabulous Roald Dahl and her is my little SFG (small friendly giant) all dressed up for their special celebration at school.
My children are both avid readers and Roald Dahl funny and fabulous books have been a significant and loves part of their reading journey. They have also seen his books enacted at the theatre and listened to the story cds in the car many times.
I can say that we do truly love Roald Dahl.
We were absolutely delighted to review The Gloriumptious Worlds of Roald Dahl’ (published by Carlton Books), a fabulous new book that reveals the stories behind the spectacular tales of Roald Dahl. it gives gives fans an enchanting new insight into the fascinating mind of the world famous author and is perfect for adults and children alike. My two completely devoured this book! It is illustrated by the world best children’s illustrator Quentin Blake and it has a fun, scrap book style format.
It has fascinating facts and funny stories about the books and it really is a pure delight. This wonderful writer deserves celebrating and this book does exactly that.

Although I read and was read to lots as a child my favourite childhood story was ‘not now Bernard’. It may have only been a few pages long but I found it more shocking and scarier than anything else as a child.
