Marvelous BookmarksIt’s easy to get lost in the whimsical world of Roald Dahl, but we don’t want you to literally get lost in his books!
Photocopy this page onto sturdy cardstock. Cut along the dotted lines to make a bookmark featuring Willy Wonka, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The BFG, or Matilda. Color in the character, and thread wool, ribbons,
or strings with beads through holes punched out at the top of each bookmark.

C. 1. You’ve never seen a person with an uglier face than my wife; she’s fearfully ugly! 2. I love to eat fi shfi ngers and tomato ketchup, minced chicken livers and scrambled eggs.
