Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children–Ranson Riggs

We’ve made it out of the Roald Dahl vortex. Thank God. I was originally reading this book because I had been interested in it for awhile and then the movie was coming out, so naturally, I was trying to prep myself for the movie! And then I never went and saw the movie. I holdContinue reading “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children–Ranson Riggs”

The Roald Dahl Collection

Fantastic Mr. Fox Admittedly, I didn’t know Roald Dahl even wrote this. I thought it came from the likes of someone with a twisted mind like Tim Burton. Well, given what his other books, I wasn’t totally wrong. This book was good, but had some serious darkness in it. I didn’t like reading to theContinue reading “The Roald Dahl Collection”

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory–Roald Dahl

Contrary to what I’ve been writing about Roald Dahl’s books on here (those were the questionable ones to be sure) I do actually enjoy his writing. It is not really for toddlers, but I should’ve probably knew they weren’t going to be. My bad. However, this book was totally lovely! Just as I remember it.Continue reading “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory–Roald Dahl”

George’s Marvellous Medicine–Roald Dahl

Sigh. Here’s another interesting book by Roald Dahl. And wildly inappropriate for a kid. I have to keep reminding myself that these are not meant for Daryl’s age group (Being 3 years old.) . That they are meant for older kids. But I also don’t appreciate what this one was saying to that age groupContinue reading “George’s Marvellous Medicine–Roald Dahl”

Esio Trot–Roald Dahl

I have major fucking beef with this book . Which is absurd considering it’s a kids book. But hear me out. This story is about a man, Mr Hoppy, who is in love with his downstairs neighbour, Mrs. Silver. They chat whenever they see each other on their balconies for brief moments. The man isContinue reading “Esio Trot–Roald Dahl”

The Giraffe, The Pelly, and Me—Roald Dahl This book was short and sweet and so will this review be: This was about a little boy who was introduced to his new neighbours: a giraffe, a pelican, and a monkey. They had just moved in and were renovating a house to be their business. They wereContinue reading “Roald Dahl”

The BFG–Roald Dahl

The kid and I have moved on from short baby stories for the soul purpose of helping me to not keep reading the same story over and over again at nap time. Thus taking us over to his sisters collection of Roald Dahl books that I thought would be a safe bet when reading toContinue reading “The BFG–Roald Dahl”

Matilda–Roald Dahl

The kid and I, well mostly me, decided to start reading all the Roald Dahl books in his sisters room after I had read the Disney stories until I could barf. (And I love Disney stories.) I basically knew the entire thing cover to cover, and it had pictures, and it was heavy to hold,Continue reading “Matilda–Roald Dahl”
