Fantastic Mr. Fox<\/em> is a much loved classic by Roald Dahl. The fox might be a thief, he might steal chickens. But who cares? He is fantastic! Every child who reads the book feels an undying anger towards the farmers who try to catch the fox. \nWell, as an adult one might think otherwise.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
6. Bhibhatsa (Disgust) in The Twits<\/h3>\n Where to even start about the disgusting things about this couple! They catch birds and make bird pies. And Mr. Twit has a beard coated with all the things he has eaten for breakfast and dinner. Yuck.<\/p>\n
The humour in this one is spot on with African language speaking monkeys and English speaking birds and how a Roly Poly bird finally comes to their help as a translator to help them communicate and save the day.<\/p>\n

7. Bhayanaka (Fearful) in Matilda<\/h3>\n Every bookworm has a soft corner for Matilda, the girl who taught herself to read and spent long hours in the library every day. But isn\u2019t Miss. Trunchbull, the headmistress a terror? Every child\u2019s nightmare indeed. And with parents like Mr and Mrs. Wormwood? Poor Matilda! As all Roald Dahl books, thank God this has a happy ending.<\/p>\n

8. Adbhutha (Wonder) in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory<\/h3>\n Wasn\u2019t the chocolate factory of Willy Wonka imagination at its best? Chocolate rivers, bubble gum makers and endless supply of chocolate all around? It is every child\u2019s dream come true.< \nAbsolutely Whoopsy wiffling!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
9. Shanta (Peace) in The Vicar of Nibbleswicke<\/h3>\n The new Reverend of Nibbleswicke has a strange form of dyslexia. He pronounces certain words backwords. \u2018God\u2019 becomes \u2018dog\u2019 and \u2018think\u2019 becomes \u2018stink\u2019 when he says them; with hilarious results. The peace at a happy ending when a stranger remedy is found for this strange disease is priceless.<\/p>\n

PS : I feel super bad I could not fit James and the Giant Peach in here. That is a marvellous read too! \nDo you love Roald Dahl? Do you have a favourite book? Have you read his short stories? (I love them too!) Have you watched the movie adaptations as well? (They are all SO well taken, esp The Witches<\/em>, Fantastic Mr. Fox<\/em>, Charlie and the Chocolate factory<\/em>, Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory<\/em> and Matilda<\/em>!!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Happy birthday to Roald Dahl.
