Summary: The Best
Review: "Danny the Champion of the World" is a masterpiece. For my money it is Dahl's best book, (though "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Fantastic Mister Fox" come close.) I think that although the intended audience of kids is sure to enjoy it, adults too would appreciate the tale. It is not only a ripping good adventure story, about a boy and his father who attempt to poach pheasants from a wicked landowner, but an atmospheric one as well - we can feel the palpable thrills in the early fall air as the characters plot the fine art of poaching for the pure private pleasure of it, like any great artists. As with all of Dahl, this book has moments of great comedy as well as a love for food and freedom, all of which appeal to its audience. There is also the subtly tender relationship between Danny and his father that add depth to the story. Well, we could go on. All I can say is that anyone who can read, adult or child, will thank themselves for reading this one.

Summary: It is the Champion of the World!!!
Review: The main characters in the book are Danny and his father. They live in a old gypsy caravan. The caravan has a bunk bed, a kerosene lamp, and a little stove and table.They are very poor. All they own is the caravan, a little filling station, and the field around it. His mother died when he was born. Danny loves living with his dad. They do everything together replace the engines in cars, fly kites, ect. DannyÕs father always talks about his father and what he did with his father when he was a kid. One of the things was poaching and just recently DannyÕs father tried poaching again and something very bad happened. read the book to find out the rest. The book is 196 pages. I liked the book I thought that it was one of the best books that I have ever read. It is different then other books. It is wonderful.

Summary: One of my Favorite Childhood Novels
Review: I love this book so much. It is a well-written novel that has a simple premise but is very touching (and a genuine delight to read). Danny the Champion of the World tells the story of a young boy who lives with his loving father in a Gypsy caravan. They have a great relationship with one another, and their bond is strengthened when Danny, the boy, learns about one of his father's private habits. You will have to read the book to find out what exactly it is, but it is guaranteed to be a delightful occasion. Other noteworthy books by Roald Dahl are the Twits, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. If you enjoyed any of these stories, this book is for you. Highly recommended.

Summary: Danny Champion of the World
Review: The book Danny Champion of the World is written by Roald Dahl. Danny and his dad live in the country of England. When Danny was a baby his mother died, so he lived with his dad in an old gypsy caravan. Danny's dad owns and works at the filling station on the only piece of land that his dad owns. Everything else, Mr. Victor Hazel owns. Watch out! Danny's dad has a secret that Danny will soon find out. Danny and his dad have a really good relationship. One night, Danny found out about his dad's secret. Danny's dad had been poaching pheasants at night over in Mr. Victor Hazel's woods. Danny didn't know how to react to this phenomenon. Danny found out about the secret in the caravan. They both live in the caravan. The land, which they live on, is a small piece of land that is surrounded by Mr. Victor Hazel's land. Mr. Victor Hazel is the owner of the brewery. He is the one who owns all the pheasants. The book Danny Champion of the World is a great book to read. The book is not too much of a mystery. I don't like mysteries too much. This book is very surprising. The book is also not too boring at all. Once you think it's going to be boring something fantastic always happens. I think you might really like this book.

Summary: Great book
Review: I read this book to my son before bed. I think it was a great book! I love the way a son and father work together in it to accomplish their goal. The only issue I had with the book is that the plot revolves around stealing, other than that it's great.

Summary: One of A Kind Story
Review: This book is an awesome adventure story about Danny and his father. I grew up without my real dad in my life, and this book was a positive "scapegoat" for me, during many difficult times in my childhood.
I recommend this book to all youngsters. It will give them a good feeling of what togetherness means, as far as family is concerned.

Summary: Best book you'll ever read
Review: I recommend this.... TO EVERYONE. It's a great book. It has action, adventure, and comedy. Danny has been motherless since he was really little. So his dad had to be mom and dad at the same time. Plus it has family, hunting, and just plain old fun. So I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did. That's my review on Danny the Champion of the World.

Summary: I remember reading this one
Review: I loved this one as a girl! I appreciate the fact that Dahl doesn't coddle his child readers and that scary things happen in the book. I only wish it were still running with the earlier illustrations. I am very fond of Quentin Blake, but the first paperback version, which I still own, has more detailed illustrations and more uniquely drawn characters.
