Learning more about children's author Roald Dahl
This juvenile biography gives young readers insights into the life and writing career of the beloved children's author. "Tell Me About Roald Dahl" does a nice job of coming up with interesting aspects of the author's life. Children will get to see photographs of the Roald Dahl museum in Aylesbury, England, and his writing hut, where he wrote in his old armchair. Chris Powling's book deals with the tragic aspects of Dahl's life involving his children and wife. There is also a section on Quentin Blake, the artist who worked on many of Dahl's books and who based "The BFG" on Dahl himself. Powling even touches upon the complaints of some parents that Dahl's books are simply too rude, but suggests children read the books and decide for themselves. My assumption is that any child who picks up this biography they have already fallen in love with Charlie, James and the other creations of this most imaginative author. Parents and teachers who notice a young reader going through every Dahl book they can get their hands on, should consider introducing those kids to this book as well.
