Today, September 13, is the birthday of the late children’s author Roald Dahl. A website of unknown provenance is urging people to celebrate with dress-up ideas, party suggestions and a museum visit, either virtually or in person.

And of course, the bento bloggers I wrote about previously are out in force again, with Roald Dahl themed lunch boxes. This one has a Fantastic Mr. Fox made out of cheese. This one spells out the author’s name. This one uses a small container to make the ‘golden ticket’ from James and the Giant Peach.

And of course, you could go old-school and read one of Mr. Dahl’s books: [easyazon-link asin=”B0040DN8O8″ locale=”us”]Roald Dahl Complete Collection Children 15 Books Box Set Pack (Fantastic Mr Fox, The Witches, The Twits, James Giant Peach, Charlie Chocolate Factory, The BFG, Magic Finger, The Giraffe , Esio Trot, Boy Tales, Matilda …) (Roald Dahl Complete Collection)[/easyazon-link]

"I’m a journalist, a teacher and an e-book fiend. I work as a French teacher at a K-3 private school. I use drama, music, puppets, props and all manner of tech in my job, and I love it. I enjoy moving between all the classes and having a relationship with each child in the school. Kids are hilarious, and I enjoy watching them grow and learn. My current device of choice for reading is my Amazon Kindle Touch, but I have owned or used devices by Sony, Kobo, Aluratek and others. I also read on my tablet devices using the Kindle app, and I enjoy synching between them, so that I’m always up to date no matter where I am or what I have with me."
