A note for parents
This classic Roald Dahl story uses humor and fantasy to explore a boy standing up to a genuinely horrible grandmother. While there's cruelty (the grandmother is abusive and deliberately mean) and some mild language, the tone is comic rather than dark. The story celebrates cleverness, resourcefulness, and justice, making it appropriate for most children in the middle-grade range, though sensitive kids might find Grandma's behavior upsetting.
