Apart from the occasional horror anthology, I haven't read a lot of children's books in which child characters die. Grownups die, and young folks may die in books for teens, but Dahl's one of the few writers I can think of for the younger set who even alludes to dead kids.

The Bridge to Terebithia.

Oh, and various Caldecott Award winners, IIRC.

Not all of the dead people are children, but I think there are more than you're remembering.

Huh.

I can think of a few. Zink by Cherie Bennet's SPOILERmain character diesSPOILER, Bridge to Terabithia, Harry Potter, pretty much any book dealing with the Holocaust, I think there was a book about the Oregon trail that had a kid's newborn sibling die? I might be remember that wrong, it's been a while.

I haven't read a lot of Dahl, but children dying wouldn't have been my first association with his books/writing. (I have only read like one or two Dahl books, though)
