….And Today’s the Day!
Roald Dahl Day takes place every September 13th, the celebrated birthday of one of the world’s favorite storytellers.
There are celebrations happening all over the world and Jump into a Book is no different. So to prepare for your own Roald Dahl Day, go have a look at some of these very fun activities on the official Roald Dahl site including crazy-fun things like, “Which Roald Dahl Character are You” quizzes, ideas for your own Dahlicious Dress-up Day, and learn more about the man himself here.
Be sure and revisit some of JIAB’s past Roald Dahl book reviews, bookjumps and book extensions:

If any of these recipes and creative learning activities look familiar…it’s because they can be found within the virtual pages of my award-winning enhanced digital e-book The Ultimate Guide to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
As many of you may already know, this ebook is the result of a labor of love, and this first-ever enhanced digital e-book inspired is by the classic tale of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
It’s been several years since my Ultimate Guide to Charlie and The Chocolate Factory enhanced digital e-Book hit the virtual shelves of the iTunes iBookstore and what fun adventure it’s been! We have much to celebrate:
- We’ve seen “Charlie” top the charts to #1 on the iTunes iBookstore no less than 7 times.
- We won the coveted QED award for innovative design.
- We won a Bronze medal in the E-Lit Book Awards.
What We Encountered Along The Way thanks to Charlie:
- We won our own golden tickets by sheer wit.
- We entered into the jungle to learn how chocolate and gum were made and even got to make some of our very own.
- We met Oompa Loompas and even had a wardrobe exchange. We’ve never truly been right since then as they have very short legs.
- We learned the true secrets of gobstoppers. We’d tell you but our mouths are full.
- Willy Wonka’s factory is a masterwork of mazes. We had to utilize our skill at them to work our way through this enchanting chocolate factory, including but not limited to the ever famous scissor maze where we walked clean through a piece of paper. Of course we haven’t kept that info to ourselves but have happily shared it with all of you
Feature Box Title
Jump into a Book’s Ultimate Guide to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a wonderful interactive book with so many goodies inside. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a favorite in my family, so it was great fun to explore in the world of Wonka. There are lots of activities to enjoy with kids, embedded videos where you get to learn a bit more about what goes into his factory, beautiful artwork throughout. It’s a sizable book, so good to read through a little at a time, and turn over to the kids to explore on their own. If you’re a Charlie fan, this is a must-have.-
