This is my favorite of all the Roald Dahl books. Maybe it was because I was left in the same predicament as a child as Matilda, basically having to raise myself. Or maybe it was because I love books and escape in them the way she does. Or maybe it's because she finds someone who has her best interest at heart. Or maybe it's all these reasons, plus the obvious reason, seeing an underdog triumph over adversity.

As the 'Smarties Award' selection is based solely on input from children, Dahl was particularly pleased when 'Matilda' won this award for the best children's book of that year. It became a best-seller and there are two movies and a musical based on the book. With Dahl's usual penchant for nasty people and determined young folk, it's lots of fun for intermediate readers.

What a wonderfully enchanting tale. The movie was good but the book blew me away. I read it in 1 night. There was alot that was different then the movie. The illustrations were really cute also.
My 5 year old read this at kindergarten and fell in love with it. Wonderful story with humor and sweetness all in one. Think this is a great book for children of all ages though. We added it to our library in a heartbeat!
