Dahl's marvellous brand of wicked humour and dark plot lines is the core
of memorable books including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The
BFG and The Twits. As Dahl, the author of 19 books for children, put
it: "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men."
Donaldson's The Gruffalo was voted the best book for children in
the survey of 848 primary school teachers by the education resources website
Teachit Primary. Siobhain Archer, the website's founder, said: "The
Gruffalo was teachers' overwhelming favourite book at the moment, polling
more than twice as many votes as Louis Sachar's Holes in second place.
But five of Roald Dahl's books appeared in the top 10 and overall a staggering
17% of primary teachers named him as their favourite children's author."
