Two of our favorite books, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach. Maybe insects and spiders are easier to understand when they're big and talking and they're eating peach instead of other foods that would be unappetizing to humans. Even chocolate production and consumption (with other candies by association) should be treated with respect and moderation. Mr.Dahl had definitive views on workers rights and just compensation, extending those views to non-traditional employees.
Among the books by Mr.Dahl that have received movie treatment are Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Fantastic Mr.Fox, Matilda, and The Witches to just name a few. Official site at: www.roalddahl.com
