Happy Birthday BFG

Whoopsey-splunkers! Today is the 30th birthday of Roald Dahl’s splendiferous book The BFG.

We have a few different ways you can get the BFG from your library. There is the book, of course, or you can listen to the story on CD, or even act it out yourselves with the BFG play. What about downloading it? Grab The BFG as an eBook or audio book from our website – I wonder if the BFG ever dreamed of doing that?!

Roald Dahl has a great website that you really should visit. You can find out all about Roald Dahl, his fabulous books, play games, do activities, enter competitions. You can even find out about Roald Dahl Day (13 September – its his birthday) and get planning for some whoppsy-wiffling flushbunking gloriumptious piggery-jokery.

Scrumdiddlyumptious!

 

My fav Roald Dahl book is The Twits. What’s yours?

Kids’ Choices for February 2009

fantastic book?This year, we’re making Kids’ Choice much more exclusive; we’re going to select five Kids’ Choice books per month. This is going to be tough, since you keep sending in heaps of Kids’ Choice reviews for some really cool books, but we’re up to the challenge (so keep reviewing)!

 

The Kids’ Choice selection for this month is a great collection of fantastic books, from the last book in the really popular, amazing Inkheart trilogy, through one of my all time top favourite books (Howl’s Moving Castle) to yet another one of the Warriors books by Erin Hunter. Those cool cats, everyone loves them! Check out book descriptions and listen to the kids’ choice reviews on the Kids’ Choice page.
