Author Birthday: Roald Dahl

I’m pretty sure everyone has seen a movie or read a book by Roald Dahl! Today is September 13, 2019 and he would have been 103 years old today.

If you don’t know who Roald Dahl is, I’m sure you know one or, most likely, more than one of his beloved characters. Where to begin…Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, Fantastic Mr Fox, and The BFG to name a few.

When I was a kid and first saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda I had no idea they were originally books!

Kate and Nate Are Running Late Book Review

Title: Kate and Nate Are Running Late
Written by Kate Egan
Illustrated by Dan Yaccarino
Recommended Ages: 4-7 years
Published: Feiwel and Friends (October 16, 2012)

Kate and Nate Are Running Late is a delightful read about oversleeping and the many obstacles to still get out the door and arrive at the final destination on time. The rhyming makes for a fun and easy read with a surprise ending that will make you chuckle! The ending was my favorite part!

The bright and playful scenes mixed with the humor regarding this extremely relatable topic make this book a great addition to add to the bookshelf for both kids and parents to enjoy.
