• Roald Dahl took lots of inspiration for this story from his own life. Some of his other, most famous, stories are also first mentioned in Danny the Champion of the World. You can find out more about the background to this novel here: https://www.roalddahl.com/roald-dahl/stories/a-e/danny-the-champion-of-the-world
• Now read and enjoy Chapters 2 and 3 of Danny the Champion of the World, ‘The Big Friendly Giant’ and ‘Cars and Kites and Fire-balloons’: http://bigben-club.com/wp-content/uploads/Danny_the_Champion_of_the_World_-_Roald_Dahl.pdf
• Note: It is advised that parents read Chapter 3 together with their child, in order that they can talk about the personal and environmental dangers of fire balloons/sky lanterns.
• Create a character profile for Danny’s dad making sure you use words and phrases from the text.
