Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Roald Dahl is a gold mine. Maybe avoid The Witches but The Twits is hilarious.

I also dug up an old Grimm's Fairy Tales from an Op shop: that was quite cool.

I thought the Grimm's fairy tales were super scary and gruesome?

I just checked on Libby and pretty much all the Roald Dahl books have lines. We might have to read the BFG while waiting for the holds (We have the paperback for the BFG). Any experience with The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me?

My boys loved listening to us read The Hobbit when they were 4 or 5.

Ooh, good suggestion! I think there might have been some scary parts in that book, but I'll put it on the list to try out and see how we go.
