I’m helping 9-10 year olds who have slipped behind in their reading. Dahl is perfect – lots of humour – good morals and the illustrations enhance the stories.
Dahl is a great one. My younger soon fully enjoyed James and the Giant Peach. As a childrens author myself I know how much work and love goes into these books.
