I'm finally reading the Roald Dahl books with my daughter Laura. We started with Matilda because Laura reminds me of Matilda and my wife Henrieta reminds me of Miss Honey. I can only hope i'm a better parent than Mr Wormwood.
No matter how old you are, Roald Dahl is essential. We're going to read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory next.
Quotes:
I'm right and you're wrong, I'm big and you're small, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Never do anything by halves if you want to get away with it. Be outrageous. Go the whole hog. Make sure everything you do is so completely crazy it's unbelievable... (Matilda)
"I'm wondering what to read next." Matilda said. "I've finished all the children's books."
