    Mad Libs is the world’s greatest word game and the perfect gift or activity for anyone who likes to laugh! Write in the missing words on each page to create your own hilariously funny stories all about the world's most famous telekinetic: Matilda!

    Build your very own version of "The Chokey," lined with broken PLURAL NOUN and ADJECTIVE nails! With 21 “fill-in-the-blank” stories about tyrannical headmistresses, pigtails, and eating far too much chocolate cake, use your telekinetic powers in the world of Matilda! Play alone, in a group or in "The Chokey" itself! Mad Libs are a fun family activity recommended for ages 8 to NUMBER.
    Roald Dahl (1916–1990) was born in Llandaff, South Wales, and went to Repton School in England. His parents were Norwegian, so holidays were spent in Norway. As he explains in Boy, he turned down the idea of university in favor of a job that would take him to "a wonderful faraway place." In 1933 he joined the Shell Company, which sent him to Mombasa in East Africa. When World War II began in 1939, he became a fighter pilot and in 1942 was made assistant air attaché in Washington, where he started to write short stories. His first major success as a writer for children was in 1964. Thereafter his children's books brought him increasing popularity, and when he died, children mourned the world over, particularly in Britain where he had lived for many years.
