Roald Dahl

When I was young, one of my favourite authors ever was Roald Dahl, the most well-known name in the world of children's literature as well as one of the world's bestselling fiction authors with sales estimated at 100 million. Many of his books are written from the point of view of a child, making them very easy to read and understand. The stories were always creative and exciting that they kept me lying in bed reading for days. A few of Roald Dahl's most acclaimed books include The Big Friendly Giant, James and The Giant Peach, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, all of which have been made into popular movies.

When choosing books for children, many parents hope to find books that can help improve their children's English, and at the same time, embody essential values and virtues that help build up their children's personality. Books by Roald Dahl are not only about depicting funny and exciting characters, but are, more importantly, focused on enlightening us about lessons in life, what to be and not to be.

At lower levels, Roald Dahl books are filled with full colour illustrations that make them fun to read and allow your child to have a better understanding of the stories. As this acclaimed author writes with a great sense of humour, I'm sure your child will enjoy his books as much as I do!

Winnie the Witch

Currently, my daughter is burying her head in the books of Winnie the Witch. I am not surprised as myself was mesmerized by its unique illustration and style at first sight.

Winnie the Witch is a hugely successful series published by Oxford University Press with over 2 million copies sold worldwide. Since its first book, the award-winning title Winnie the Witch, the series has developed into a whole range of picture books, paperback with audio CD and young fictions.

Once the children are clicked with Winnie in the picture books, they would keep on reading and reading and it really helps in encouraging the transition from picture books to chapter books as they leap with enthusiasm to read Winnie's young fiction.
