Win a bundle of Roald Dahl goodies *NOW CLOSED*

The BFG, such a lovely memory from my childhood and lovely to see the story still popular these days too.

Matilda as she is determined to succeed despite her difficult upbringing. She is a caring young girl and has a great wit.

Matilda is our favourite character as she uses her special powers to help save the children from being bullied from Miss Trunchbull

Grandpa Joe showing strength and courage.Even though he spent his days in bed in poverty trying to keep warm he got up and went with Charlie ready to share the great adventure.

Always makes me laugh ( Mis Trunchbull)

Miss Trunchbull from Matilda

Willy Wonka just loved the chocolate creations and crazy character

Willy Wonka
A good heart with a twisted mind

Danny the champion of the world,often listen to it with the grandchildren on long car journeys.

Mrs Twit (or Mr Twit) are my all time favourites. Of all the RD books that I read to my DS, this was the one that I liked the best! I love the dark humour of a warring couple, trying to out do each other with ever more hideous pranks played against the other. Reminds me of me and the ex!

My Daughter loved the BFG and called her guinea pig Sofie.

Roll on a few years and we were lucky enough to be able to take our then 4 yr old grandson to the cinema to see his first film which was the new BFG.

He loved the giants.
He has both old and new version on DVD but he and his three year old brother prefer the old version and rewind constantly to watch Bloodbutler giant.

They also have a BFG book and stickers.

One the boys favourite games is..
The BFG (throw for a cloak) to be chased round the garden by BloodButler.

This summer they planted (among other things) snozcumbers (cucumber)
All picked and eaten with glee by both boys.

Whizzpopping (at home) for some reason always causes a giggle.

So its the Roald Dahl's BFG for the Cherrytree family

Matilda… i'd love to have been her as I was growing up

Charlie from Charlie and the Chocolate factory. A lovely boy who just wanted to help his family above everything else

Grandpa Joe from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for inspiring such love from Charlie, completely believing in him and also showing human traits. .

The girl with The Magic Finger whom Ronald Dahl doesn't name. All my class wished they had that finger when they heard the story!

Charlie from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, because he was the little lad with nothing, the underdog who was good at heart and managed to win over Willy Wonka to inherit the magical world Wonka had created - a worthy successor and nice to see him triumph over all those self-centered brats. Also he loved and wanted to look after his family - the sort of boy any family would be proud of.

Charlie from Charlie and the chocolate factory.. He appears to be such a kindly lad and very family orientated.

My favourite character is William, dad of Danny, 'The Champion of the World'. Why? Because he's a flawed human being, but a wonderful dad and as a single parent is doing a great job of raising Danny.

Also because I have two sons who loved having the book read to them when they were little and one of them is now a single parent dad to his own son.

Definitely the BFG. Couldn't wait for grandson to be old enough to enjoy it with me and wasn't disappointed - such fun!!!!

Matilda Wormwood and her telekinesis gift!

James and the giant peach! I adore peaches!

I'd have to say Danny the Champion of the World. I absolutely loved it when our teacher read this book to us. I literally hung on her every word and always wondered what it would be like to be Danny.

Willy Wonka as he is so kind and has a wonderful job.

I’m with Lisa, it has to be the BFG. He’s really the best sort of grandad.
