As you might know by now, I am a big fan of Roald Dahl. I try to include a text by him whenever I can, and I thought we’d read Lamb to the Slaughter this year.
What does ”Lamb to the Slaughter” mean? What pictures do you get in your head? What does the word SLAUGHTER mean? (it’s OK to use Bab.la). Any new pictures in your head?
