Happy Roald Dahl Day!

The Enormous Crocodile

The Big Friendly Giant

'A dream,' he said, 'as it goes WHIFFLING trough the night air, is making a little BUZZING-HUMMING noise. But this little BUZZY-HUM is so silvery soft, it is IMPOSSIBLE or a human bean to be HEARING it'.

The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me

The Giraffe's NECK, which HEAVEN knows was long enough already, began to grow LONGER and LONGER and LONGER and LONGER and HIGHER and HIGHER and HIGHER...

Roald Dahl Day

I've been lately reading some books written by Roald Dahl (and sending some postcards!). By the way, one of my favourite authors. And I've been getting these beautiful stamps sent by Laura (the UK). They belong to a stamp set issued by the Royal Mail.

I've published two of them here and here. I wanted to publish it today again because today we celebrate the Roald Dahl Day! Yes, the official Roald Day Day takes places every year on 13 September. And in 2012 the swizzfiggling BFG, which is famous for catching, creating and making dreams come true, is turning 30. If you do not know how to celebrate it, here and here you have some scrumdiddlyumptious ideas.
