BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SOME
Roald Dahl is famous author who based many of his characters and stories on experiences from his own life.
This is a cute series, the biographies are short, the illustrations are fun. We don't get a comprehensive biography and I was (pleased) surprised to see this briefly addresses that some of his writings were unkind to others, especially Jewish people. All in all, an elementary student would learn who he his and where he got his ideas. Includes a timeline and a bit longer bio. Dahl is Welsh
