Challenge Check-In #1
Welcome to the Summer Reading Challenge check-in!
We’re super excited that it’s Summer Reading Challenge season, and so are our favourite authors!
Chris Riddell (author of the awesome Ottoline series and illustrator of lots of amazing stories) came to hang out with us at our Big Friendly Read party, and so did Roald Dahl’s grandson, Luke!
Joseph and Jemima helped Chris and Luke measure themselves on the Big Friendly Read height chart – can you guess which Roald Dahl characters they are the same height as? *
The Big Friendly Read is happening in libraries across the UK right now and you can take part all summer long!

*Chris Riddell is the same height as Mr Twit – but he’s definitely not as smelly!
*Luke Kelly is the same height as his grandad, Roald Dahl – how Dahl-ightful!
