Happy Birthday, Roald Dahl!

Happy Birthday, Roald Dahl!

If he was still alive, today would mark Roald Dahl's 94th birthday.

In celebration, check out one of Roald Dahl's famous, fantastic children's novels such as The BFG, the ever-popular Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Witches, or my personal favorite, Matilda.

Or find your own favorite in the library!

And did you know there are several biographies on Roald, such as "D is for Dahl: a gloriumptious A-Z guide to the world of Roald Dahl".

And be sure to take a look at Roald Dahl's AWESOME website: http://www.roalddahl.com There's a lot to read and do!

Don't Let The Pidgeon Drive The Bus Board Game

Exciting news! University Games is releasing a new board game for kids: DON'T LET THE PIDGEON DRIVE THE BUS GAME!

The board is one big city scene, and you (the player) get to drive a bus! Your job is to collect four tokens from various stores on the board... But watch out for the Pigeon! If he catches you than you have to go back to start! (your opponents get to move the Pigeon if the spinner points to the Pigeon during their turn). Once you've got your tokens, be the first to get to the Bus Depot and you win!

DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS GAME! should be hitting the shelves of your favorite toy shop by end of August. Awesome!
