The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants - rather than the BFG - she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

A little magic can take you a long way. After James Henry Trotter's parents are tragically eaten by a rhinoceros, he goes to live with his two horrible aunts, Spiker and Sponge. Life there is no fun, until James accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree and strange things start to happen. The peach at the top of the tree begins to grow, and before long it's as big as a house. Inside, James meets a bunch of oversized friends - Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybug, and more. With a snip of the stem, the peach starts rolling away, and the great adventure begins!

Where did Roald Dahl get all of his wonderful ideas for stories? From his own life, of course! As full of excitement and the unexpected as his world-famous, best-selling books, Roald Dahl's tales of his own childhood are completely fascinating and fiendishly funny. Did you know that Roald Dahl nearly lost his nose in a car accident? Or that he was once a chocolate candy tester for Cadbury's? Have you heard about his involvement in the Great Mouse Plot of 1924? If not, you don't yet know all there is to know about Roald Dahl.

Great first audio book!
This is my first audio book. Even though I had read matilda and watched the movie many times, it is beautiful every time I read it. Also , the narration was done beautifully. Still, if I could change a few bits, some parts were read too softly. Other than that, it was perfect!(^o^)b
I highly recommend it.

Hail Queen Kate, the best reader ever!!!
A subversive and hilarious story, a lovable phenomenon of a girl, her teacher and awful parents and school mistress. Winslet is everyone with aplomb, wit and an incredible voice range: at the same time the cruel Miss Trunchbull and Hortensia, the clever trickster. I heard many parts three or four times. Lovely, lovely experience. Dahl would have been satisfied, I am sure.

A gorgeously cheeky retelling
Would you consider the audio edition of Matilda to be better than the print version?
The audio version is definitely equal to the film and the book.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Matilda?
The description of the Chokey always gives me chills!
What about Kate Winslet’s performance did you like?
Kate Winslet's narration is lovely, and her characterisation is spot on.

It definitely made me laugh out loud in a few places.

What's not to love?
What did you like most about Matilda?
I love every bit of the book. It's thoroughly entertaining and Kate Winslet was spectacular.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Matilda?
Several. I love Mrs Trunchball's encounter in class with smart Nigel 'unless-you-want my-middle-name' Hicks; the part where Lavender put the newt in her cup of water, and of course Matilda.
I think this is the best of Roald Dahl's books.
What about Kate Winslet’s performance did you like?
Everything, she made all the parts come to life.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed all the way through.
Any additional comments?
My children also loved it.

Disappointing narrator
I found the story interesting enough to continue listening to the book despite the super annoying narration and character voices. Also, the narrator would go from whisper to scream so frequently that it made it almost impossible to adjust the volume of the audiobook for comfortable listening.

7YR OLD STEP-GRAND DAUGHTER'S 1ST AUDIO BOOK
I gave Matilda (the book) and the audio book along with an iPod to my 7 yr old step-granddaughter for Christmas. She knew the story of Matilda but didn't have the book herself so I thought I would get her both the book and the audio book too. It was her first experience with an audio book and I encouraged her to read-along with the book and audio. She loved it. She said the lady (Kate Winslet) reading the story to her is very good and her voice is lovely. I think audio books, along with the physical book is a great way to encourage children to read. Hopefully she'll be like me and love her audio books and have a vast collection like I do.

Kate Winslet is amazing!
Matilda is smart, sweet and funny in itself, but add Kate Winslet's voices and you have one of the best audible books ever. More please Kate!

Amazing performaance
Roald Dahl books are amazing and in their own right should always be recommended, but this version is amazing. Not only does Winslet show that she is a great actor, but she is an impressive voice actor. It is so good it sounds like a full cast.
I bought this book because of childhood nostalgia and Winslet's speaking voice is smooth and nice to listen to, but this performance was a revelation. Can not recommend enough.
