I really should read more Roald Dahl. The only book I actually read was “The B.F.G.” (Big Friendly Giant), which my daughter was assigned in third grade. She read more on her own. But considering that I loved the film versions of Matilda, James and the Giant Peach and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (not to mention “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”), I probably should read the originals.

this would be a good book, I hope she does it!
I actually did not like the movie for James and the Giant Peach. The book, of course, is better. The Johnny Depp Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is closer to the original book as far as the factory tour. But, it took a lot of liberties, also. This is why I would be nasty if my book ever became a movie. I hate it when directors muck up a good story with their “vision” of how things should be.
