Roald Dahl - the best author for miles around
I got this set off The Book People. The Phizz-Whizzing collection is much better than the Scrumdidlyumptious collection as here you get 15 books for £22, in the Scrumdidlyumptious set you only get 6 for £20. The books are excellent (he puts a lot of information into it), and often very funny. My favourite is George's Marvellous Medicine, where a boy who has a grumpy, miserable old grandma who bosses him around when his mother and father are out decides to make a medicine to "either cure her completely or blow off the top of her head." He goes round the house with a big saucepan, and chucks in all different sorts of things, like toothpaste, shampoo, shaving foam, deodarant, face cream and floor polish. And that is just one of the 15 fantastic stories in this Phizz-Whizzing collection.

Stories included are:

The Magic Finger
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Esio Trot
Fantastic Mr Fox
Boy: Tales of Childhood
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
The Twits
James and the Giant Peach
Danny, the Champion of the World
George's Marvellous Medicine
Going Solo
The Witches
Matilda
The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me
The BFG

This is a great box set. If you don't buy it you'll be missing out on one of life's greatest treasures, that's for sure. BUY TODAY!

Thanks for reading

great collection for the beginning reader
My 1st grade son devoured these 15 books in less than 3 weeks!! My wife and I had kind off forgotten about these books, but thanks to my son's teacher who read 'The Big Friendly Giant' to the class, we rediscovered them. Our son was already an advanced reader, but thanks to Roald Dahl he left the 'picture books' behind him and now is in to what he calls 'chapter books'.
We just ordered the 'Famous five' series from Enid Blyton to feed his reading appetite.

Excellent Books - My 7 Year Old Son Loves them
Bought as a present for my 7 year old son. He absolutely loves the stories and he is very keen to read them on his own. He now reads Roald Dahl, rather than looking at pictures in football books.
We can highly reccomend the whole set!
