MEDIA REVIEWS
Cleverly captures Dahl's magic and mayhem,with exuberant illustrations by Quentin Blake.-The TelegraphInsisting from the first page that this is NOT a book for children'who are as good as gold',Blake's drawings hilariously portray kids who eat too many sweets'then throw them back up again'or'fill their underpants with bees'while grim,grey-coloured adults tell them off. But the message is also for grown-ups to'Be outrageous! Break the mould!'Because all the best things in life have been experienced or invented by people who are curious,mischievous and disobedient. Riotous fun.-Daily MailDrawn from the prankish humour and ethos of Roald Dahl,it begs to be shared with adult and child,and is a timely and timeless reminder of the kind of childhood we might want to create for our children. Underlying messy adventures too is the desire for children to grow up to be inventive,creative,caring about nature and thinking outside the box. Even if'being bold is never breezy'. This is a fabulously fun and special book.-Coventry Telegraph
Roald Dahl
Dahl gifted readers some of literature's most abiding and wonderful characters,from the lovable dream-whispering,word-mangling giant,the BFG,to magical Matilda,chocolate-maker extraordinaire Willy Wonka and many more. Endlessly inventive and laugh-out- loud funny,Dahl's stories reinvent the world for every new generation. They are rightly ranked among the greatest classics of children's fiction,stories that celebrate kindness,bravery and hope. Oh and whizzpopping.
