Roald Dahl is so fun to read. The villains are really revolting. The good guys have heart. The Witches is particularly fun to read because it makes you wonder about all those ladies wearing gloves and hats!
In my grand search for a class set of books for my kids to read, this tops the list. Parts of it are difficult--when the Grand High Witch talks, she has a thick accent that is played out in the spelling of her speech. But I think my kids are up for the challenge, especially for such a fun book. This book also gives nice contrast to Stuart Little, which we just finished. Mice play an important role!
