Yes. The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory one is especially fun to read out. I (cruelly) ask the teacher to look out for which child puts their hand up first. Then I read the extract... and as soon as I read the word "chocolate" every single hand shoots up simultaneously. It's fun watching the teacher's face.
I was obsessed with Swallows and Amazons aged 8. Most of today's children haven't read it, so I wouldn't include it in the game played with children, but I'm glad you recognised it here.
