Matilda | Roald Dahl
Phizzwhizzing new cover look and branding for the World's NUMBER ONE Storyteller!Matilda Wormwood's father thinks she's a little scab. Matilda's mother spends all afternoon playing bingo. And Matilda's headmistress Miss Trunchbull? Well, she's the worst of all. She is a big bully, who thinks all her pupils are rotten and locks them in the dreaded Chokey. As for Matilda, she's an extraordinary little girl with a magical mind - and now she's had enough. So all these grown-ups had better watch out, because Matilda is going to teach them a lesson they'll never forget."A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero" - David Walliams Now you can listen to MATILDA and other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry - plus there are added squelchy soundeffects from Pinewood Studios! And look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! and HOUSE OF TWITS inspired by the revolting Twits.

I loved this book so much as a kid. Rereading it with my 7-year-old was so much fun. She was so excited by every new twists. There‘s definitely more name calling than I remembered, but I think that just sticks out to me as a mom. Matilda‘s courage is so fantastic.

1) My semester starts the day after Labor Day, which is nice for the large number of our students working the tourist season - but it means the last day of exam week is 12/23! End of semester grading will get rough with Christmas prep.

2) Matilda by Roald Dahl is my favorite children's book, and school turns out to be a blessing and a curse for her.

Tagging any other teachers/professors!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Precocious Matilda won me over as expected. There are some really horrible people in this story, but y‘all know Roald Dahl, it‘s darkly funny, clever, and there‘s a fair amount of good, too. Very much enjoyed finally reading this classic!

Fantasy-realism? Is that a thing? Cuz that‘s how this book makes me feel. I struggled at first because the characters were so over the top, but it also gave me Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle vibes. Thoroughly enjoyed Matilda‘s revenge and I love the illustrator!

Saw the theater presentation on Friday and chose to check out the source material on our snow day. Obviously, this children‘s book was a delightful one-day read that made me giggle. It abruptly ends, but it is a children‘s book after all. I found the vocabulary to be wonderful. Dahl clearly thought highly of children and their ability to develop a strong language register. Shout out to my nephew for loaning me the book!

a must read for an elementary schooler, i cant believe this was my first time reading a book by mr. dahl! i loved that it showed a somewhat dark reality to childhood, and dahl writes brilliantly in his personal narration. i adored this, even with my constant comparing it to both the film and musical adaptations!

“The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives. She went on olden-day sailing ships with Joseph Conrad. She went to Africa with Ernest Hemingway and to India with Rudyard Kipling. She travelled all over the world while sitting in her little room in an English village.”

I appreciate Matilda‘s brilliance, magic and courage. She has the power to triumph over evil like her dad who is notoriously known for selling poor quality second-hand cars and her demon-like headmistress Miss Trunchball. Despite obstacles she may face, she could scare away Miss Trunchball with her power to move chalks straight up and get them write something frightening to her.

Such a cute cover! My sister watched the movie Matilda so often while we were kids that I can probably quote most of the movie, I just never read it till now. It‘s on my little scratch-off 100 Book Bucket List, so when I saw it in a lending library box, I snatched it up!

I read this with my 3 kids. It was so different from the movie. I did need to explain some of the abuse and language to the kids but I think that Miss Trunchbull was so outrageous for them that they couldn‘t imagine a real teacher like that. So, it turned out to be fine. They thought it was funny for me to use “bad” words while reading. They all loved the book with her superpowers in her eyes and the naughty things Matilda did to the mean adults.

Gissy So good that you explained your kids those violent parts. I didn‘t expect the book to be like that. They talk even about suicide thoughts, which is good to talk about but is good to have an adult to explain it and what to do. The teacher tells those feelings to a child? 🤦🏽‍♀️ 2y
SarahBookInterrupted @Gissy I do find Roald Dahl books all have a dark side to them. I find I‘m usually explaining them, but it‘s a good opportunity to discuss issues with kids without it being in “real” life. They can so easily hear about all these things on the news or at school. Which I think is more difficult for them to get the lesson or information. 2y

Well today was annoying.
Low point : my book trolley tipping over while exiting the lift, books loudly went everywhere and yet no one noticed? 🤨
High point : impressing a kid with my amazing recall for books and authors - tales of a fourth grade nothing-BLUME, drama - TELGEMEIER (I impressed the librarian with that one), first HP book - too easy.

julesG Tea and a good book at the end of this day. 3y
