      I'm fairly well off and baulk at book prices...some families just don't have ANY spare cash & certainly not for books!

    A10 Roald Dahl is still a favourite. It helps when there's a fun day dedicated to him (just the other week too) #UkEdChat

    Parents also read Roald Dahl so they share their favourites with their children which encourages it. #UkEdChat
