  • This story was fun! Matilda's michives were very fun and clever. I like the most was that she put glue inside of his father's hat. Her family was really strange, so I was happy that she was able to live with Miss Honey.

  • I loved it and wish I had gotten to it sooner but I wasn't reading kids books at that time and my kids were in high school.It is so full of whimsy and fun and really brings back "fond" memories of that one teacher that you wished ill of.I was so glad that Matilda found someone who really understood her.

  • <i>Matilda</i> was one of my favorite books as a kid and I've loved rediscovering it through the audio recording. I forgot just how good it is! Matilda is a spunky first-grader, proving that you don't need to be able to reach the kitchen cabinets to start standing up to The Man. The partially voiced narration by Joely Richardson was lovely. Highly recommended for car trips with the family - everyone will love the indomitable Matilda.
