What Happened Today? September 13th

Today's event happened 96 years ago.

On September 13, 1916, children’s book author Roald Dahl was born. He wrote books such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach. He did most of his writing while living on his family farm. He would write every day for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. In between, he would take care of the farm animals. He was also a fighter pilot for the British Royal Air Force during World War II.


Have you ever read any books by this author?  I really enjoy Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the BFG.  Next time you are in the library, check out a book by Roald Dahl.  If you've read one of his books, tell me which one you read and what you thought of it.
