instead of watching television. He believes that excessive


television viewing blocks imagination, health, and creative
powers, making children dumb and blind. Dahl advises
against installing television in homes, as it damages children's

dragons, gipsies, Queens, and Helen Beatrix Potter. By
encouraging children to read books, they will find joy and
gratitude for their parents' knowledge and wisdom.
