Superkiddos--we've been talking about writing like some of our favorite authors. I think if I could write like anyone, it would be like Roald Dahl (if I were writing fiction). I love how he has lots of action in his stories and how kids end up being heroes after having hard lives. Click on Mr. Dahl's photo to get to his official website. It's super(kiddo)cool!

When I went on his game site I noticed he did games about his most popular books.I wonder what his two dogs names are? great posting Mrs.Overman:)
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of Roald Dahl books at home and the one thing I noticed he does in his books is really pacific words.When I read The witches by Roald Dahl he wrote a note about witches and he said really pacific words.Im really glad you posted a site about Roald Dahl because I can see new books hes made and read books hes written that I don't have at home.Have fun reading Roald Dahl Mrs.Overman.:)
