Roald Dahl is a notable and world-famous children's author. His works are all complete fiction. But, he does tend to use hyperbole and exaggerations a lot. Usually this tends to be in the form of adults insulting kids or "punishments" happening, such as the Trunchbull throwing a girl out the window by her pigtails, or Veronica possibly being incinerated in the garbage shoot. If your learner is sensitive about more tense aspects in the novel, please let me know ahead of time. However, these books were specifically created for children in this age range, and I have read the books numerous times. I've read all of these novels out loud to my own two children (currently 8 & 5) and they both have seen the movie interpretations. 

As a word of warning, during Chapter 4 in Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, Roald Dahl uses some racist stereotyping of the pronunciation of Chinese names and how some in China might pronounce English words during a scene between the President of the USA and the Chinese Premier. This is incorrect and racist profiling. If you want to skip the discussion between the President and the Chinese Premier, feel free to. It is about 2 pages of dialogue and is not a necessary part of the plot. We will not be bringing attention to it during class. If you have any major issues or concerns with this short scene, please let me know. I have also updated the class description under the section of "Parental Guidance" to include a warning about this scene.
