I have always wanted a Miss Honey in my life!
This is a wonderful book, funny and yet deep. Roald Dahl's writing is delightful.

I just listened to this on audiobook as preparation to go see the musical this weekend. I loved this so much the second time around and got so much more of it as an adult than I did as a child, especially all the great literature references. I highly recommend this and Kate Winslet narrated it so well that it is definitely a 5-star audiobook!

I love Roald Dahl. I even had a cookbook called Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes that was based on food in his books. Where is that thing...Mom's attic??

I started this with my four year old. I adored the movie when I was a child. However it was NOT age appropriate for her, wo when she and I started Winnie the Pooh, I kept reading Matilda, experiencing terrific nostalgia. Loved every word. I really like Roald Dahl's writing style.

i've just realized i've never added this book, which is so blasphemous. this was literally one of my favorite books as a kid, alongside harry potter. i tried to move things telepathically like matilda after i read this.

Just a re-read. I needed something to relax and Matilda is just the perfect story for that.
