Roald Dahl is always a good choice LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 10/09/2009 05:12:09 PM
so many of his books are really entertaining for children to read. And some of them are smart enough to get some of the back-meaning at a really young age. Even if they aren't, they will eventually. Dahl is something you can always go back to.

I personally read it every time i'm in my mom's classroom :P
