Danny the Champion of the World

De: Roald Dahl

Narrado por: Peter Serafinowicz

“Roald Dahl sometimes shared a tonal kinship with Ogden Nash, and he could demonstrate a verbal inventiveness nearly Seussian…[His] stories work better in audio than in print.” –The New York Times


Can Danny and his father outsmart the villainous Mr. Hazell?

Danny has a life any boy would love—his home is a gypsy caravan, he's the youngest master car mechanic around, and his best friend is his dad, who never runs out of wonderful stories to tell. But one night Danny discovers a shocking secret that his father has kept hidden for years. Soon Danny finds himself the mastermind behind the most incredible plot ever attempted against nasty Victor Hazell, a wealthy landowner with a bad attitude. Can they pull it off? If so, Danny will truly be the champion of the world.

very cute story

my 6 year old liked it. we have enjoyed Roald Dhal children stories. we hope to find some more chapter books geared for kids like this one.

very entertaining

we just LOVE anything book by Road Dahl. this narration was performed beautifully. will definitely listen again

Good tale of childhood

This is not your typical Dahl book. It is not silly or Imaginative like his other books. It’s a rich story about a boy and his dad. We enjoyed it.

A Wonderful Listen

I really enjoyed this book. For children to adults, the story is very entertaining. It was great fun to listen to. The narrator has a lovely voice and did the characterizations well.

Even better in SPOKEN WORD!

Growing up (I am 38) this book was alwasys mesmerizing- to have it "read to me" as am adult- brings back it memorable sparkle!
