"We are very thankful to Roald Dahl for writing this book" WE WISH THERE WAS A PART 2!!!!!! 2018 Class 404 "Roald Dahl is a very creative and funny writer. This story contains many interesting vocabulary words, which our class did not previously encounter in the other books we've read. Also, this a very motivating book because it encompasses many themes such as "you can accomplish big goals, no matter your size or age", "teamwork", never give up", the importance of family", and "what's on the inside is what matters most". Thank you Roald Dahl for writing such a marvelous book! We highly recommend that everyone reads this book, especially other 4th grade classes!!!!!!

About the author

Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. He spent his childhood in England and, at age eighteen, went to work for the Shell Oil Company in Africa. When World War II broke out, he joined the Royal Air Force and became a fighter pilot. At the age of twenty-six he moved to Washington, D.C., and it was there he began to write. His first short story, which recounted his adventures in the war, was bought by The Saturday Evening Post, and so began a long and illustrious career.

After establishing himself as a writer for adults, Roald Dahl began writing children’s stories in 1960 while living in England with his family. His first stories were written as entertainment for his own children, to whom many of his books are dedicated.

Roald Dahl is now considered one of the most beloved storytellers of our time. Although he passed away in 1990, his popularity continues to increase as his fantastic novels, including James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, The BFG, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, delight an ever-growing legion of fans.
