5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Series, Great Book
By Debbie Herman on December 22, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
My students love this series, and new titles always fly off the shelf as soon as they come in. This book was especially fun because it is about an author we have studied this year, so we decided to read the book as a class. I am very happy with how the book keeps the kids' interest and the way facts are presented.

5.0 out of 5 starsDahl's biography
By R. Averett on May 11, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
No book can take the place of Roald Dahl's own books. Reading Boy and Going Solo is a must before delving into Dahl's books. This biography is good and I would give it to 3rd graders and up to read. I read it on a screen/Kindle version to my K class before reading Fantastic Mr. Fox and the BFG.

4.0 out of 5 starsAwesome book!
By Tiffany on June 20, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition
From my 10 year old son, who was the one who read it:
"This book taught me and told me a lot about one of my favorite authors. I didn't get bored reading it and I really liked it. I didn't give it 5 stars out of 5 because I was hoping it would be as funny as some of his books are, but it wasn't. But it was still a really entertaining book that I want to read again" ~from a 10 year old reader

5.0 out of 5 starsInteresting
By Alanna Phillips on May 23, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
this was a very interesting book. I did not know that his life was so interesting and chaotic I feel that it will make me think about his books in a different way now that I know what his life was like.

4.0 out of 5 starsWho was Roald Dahl?
By Seth C. on February 18, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
It was sad . Some of the people very important to Roald die. It was a good book too. Roald fought in world war 2. He had a dog named Chopper. Roald died while working on a book inspired by Chopper. It was about a girl who could talk to her dog. It was sad because his daughter,Olivia died from a sickness at the age of seven, Roald dies at the end. Great book for 2nd to 4th graders.

Who was Roald Dahl is an intriguing story, following the ups and downs of his life. He started as a military hero, who then became an author of your favourite books. If you are as big as a fan of Roald
as I am, I'm sure you will enjoy this book.
