It is Roald Dahl Day today! And to celebrate we'd love you to share your favourite Roald Dahl book, character or quote! I was so excited to find the Roald Dahl website which sells not only books, but loads of cute stuff like tea cups, badges and gifts 

My favourite Roald Dahl book is George's Marvellous Medicine but I have to say one of my favourite quotes is from The Twits;
"A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

Did you see the remake of the BFG film they did a few years ago? I loved it

@April2018mom I saw it at the cinema when it came out in 2016. Just checked and I don't think it is on Netflix yet.

Thanks for this @Sam_Scope. I didn't realise it was Roald Dahl Day today. His books are fab and the movies too! I love Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The Oompa-Loompahs are just awesome!Winner of the Scope New Volunteer Award 2019.

Mr Twit is easily my favourite. He just seems like my kinda guy.
As far as a favourite book goes: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory left me in awe as a chiddler, because the idea of living in a chocolate factory has always, understandably, appealed (Cadbury World was a bit disappointing by comparison!)

As a chocoholic it has to be Charlie from 'Charlie & The Chocolate Factory'. I love James with his giant peach too!
