Resumen del Editor

Now a musical!

Matilda is a sweet, exceptional young girl, but her parents think she's just a nuisance. She expects school to be different but there she has to face Miss Trunchbull, a menacing, kid-hating headmistress. When Matilda is attacked by the Trunchbull she suddenly discovers she has a remarkable power with which to fight back. It'll take a superhuman genius to give Miss Trunchbull what she deserves and Matilda may be just the one to do it!

Here is Roald Dahl's original novel of a little girl with extraordinary powers. This much-loved story has recently been made into a wonderful new musical, adapted by Dennis Kelly with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin.

Childhood Memories

Would you consider the audio edition of Matilda to be better than the print version?

They both fantastic! The book gave me such joy as a child and Kate Winslet brings the story to life!

What does Kate Winslet bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Comfort! She has that voice that just oozes warmth and joy.

Any additional comments?

A classic story that will stand the test of time for generations to come.

Great fun

I took a break from my normal listening to enjoy Matilda. It was a fun diversion and I would definitely recommend it to others, I liked how Ms. Winslet read and Dahl is always a pleasure.

Our new favorite read aloud

Do not delay, get this read-aloud immediately. Of course Roald Dahl’s work is brilliant on its own— but it is even better read by Winslet. This is absolutely fantastic!!! It is riveting, Kate’s reading is absolute brilliance — each character unique and with such fun character choices made! Buy it. You won’t regret it.

Incredible

I never read this as a child! Some parts are quite shocking for a children's book, but not inappropriately so... Probably. So hilarious, irreverent, but serious, artistic, and lovable in every way.

Absolute Magic

"Matilda" has been one of my favorites since my mother first put it in my hands at eight years old and this audio performance was absolutely gorgeous. Winslet is an extremely talented vocal performer and all of her characters' voices were realistic, distinctive, and unique. The on,y reason that the story portion was given four stars rather than five is because this is an abridged recording and I would have loved for it to have been full length.

I love it!

This is my absolute favorite book and the one reading it brought it to life. Her voice for the characters were just as I imagine it. Absolutely love it!!#ChildProtagonist #Magical #Nostalgic #Witty #FeelGood #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Wonderfully narrated! An excellent parent-child bonding activity!

The first ever audible book experience for me and my 8-year old. It was a smashing hit; a page turner; she didn’t want to put the book down. We listened and finished this over one weekend. Kate Winslet’s narration is the draw; simply superb! For my daughter to prefer listening to the book (with only the cover as visual) over watching her TV programs was quite a feat. It shows the power of written (and heard) words and how captivating Kate Winslet’s excellent portrayal of every single character is.

Good story

Loved the movie so was excited to see the differences in the book. Was not disappointed. Good Narrator.

This is one of my childhood favorites

This book has always been amongst my favorites growing up. Kate Winslet did an amazing performance, it really transports you into the story.

Excellent

I am a retired adult and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this wonderful book. Great
