This Week in Library: July 13-17
with Ms. Bober
This week's theme is:
Who was Roald Dahl?
Roald Dahl wrote lots of books you probably know, even if you have never read them, because many were turned into movies. If you have ever seen
- Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,
- The BFG,
- The Witches,
- Matilda, or
- James and the Giant Peach
OverDrive has 20 different books by and about author Roald Dahl. If you like stories that are funny, strange, and have a little bit of magic, then these are the stories for you! Check out a few of my favorite titles below.
