Description-
Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory is opening at last! But only five lucky children will be allowed inside. And the winners are: Augustus Gloop, an enormously fat boy whose hobby is eating; Veruca Salt, a spoiled-rotten brat whose parents are wrapped around her little finger; Violet Beauregarde, a dim-witted gum-chewer with the fastest jaws around; Mike Teavee, a toy pistol-toting gangster-in-training who is obsessed with television; and Charlie Bucket, Our Hero, a boy who is honest and kind, brave and true, and good and ready for the wildest time of his life!
Reviews-
catad - This book is about a lucky but poor family. Charlie Bucket, Mr. and Mrs. Bucket, Grandpa Joe, Grandma Josephine, Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina.
“Charlie dreamed of eating something other that bread, potatoes or cabbage... Most of all he dreamed of CHOCOLATE.”
The fantastic creator of chocolate, Mr. Willy Wonka, was opening the gates of his enormous factory!!!!!!!!! and only 5 lucky children were going to enter there... only 5. To enter, you had to find 1 of the 5 golden tickets. The 1st golden ticket was found by: a fat boy called Augustus Gloop. The 2nd was found by: a pretty girl called Veruca Salt. The 3rd was found by: a girl that chews a lot of gum called Violet Beauregarde. The 4th was found by a boy that´s always watching TV who was called Mike Teavee. The last golden ticket was found by.............Do you know who found the last golden ticket?
The factory opened the 1st of February at 10 o’clock. They went in. You can´t imagine what happened to the children in there... what a mess!!!!!
This is a funny book. The illustrations were made by Quentin Blake and they were great because he illustrates what’s going in the story and you can understand the book better. My favourite part was when Veruca Salt disappeared in a very funny way and what happened to Violet, Mike and Augustus are all funny too. Do you want to know what what happened to the children? As you read this book you might wonder what's going to happen... well... Read it.
Roald Dahl writes by exaggerating everything. He says that it is no good having ordinary people they do not interest the reader at all. If somebody is fat he makes them extremely fat. If somebody is short he makes them extremely short. If the person is bad or cruel or nasty he makes them very bad or very cruel or very nasty. He entertains the reader .
Quentin Blake illustrates most of Roald Dahl´s books and I like the illustrations
I recommend this book to children of 7 to 12 years old that like wonderful and long books.
READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!
October 1, 2004 On the occasion of its 40th anniversary, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, illus. by Quentin Blake, presents the famous story interspersed with Blake's characteristically frenetic line drawings, with clusters of candy sprinkled across the pages. Pink, lavender, baby blue and yellow backgrounds of the pages make a sugary new wrapper for this favorite tale. .
Starred review from November 11, 2002 In a sublime bit of casting, comedic actor Idle delivers an inspired rendition of Dahl's classic novel, available for the first time as an unabridged recording (an abridged Caedmon edition, read by Dahl, was released in the 1970s). Using expert timing and a seemingly strong familiarity with the material, Idle wrings every note of humor from the author's colorful behind-the-scenes look at Willy Wonka's world-famous chocolate factory. During the course of a factory tour (whose participants were determined by a contest), honest, humble Charlie Bucket beats out four bratty, selfish children to become the heir to Wonka's wonderland. Readers new to Dahl, as well as longstanding admirers of the book or even the feature film starring Gene Wilder, will not want to miss Idle's interpretation of Wonka's whirlwind energy and "high and flutey" voice. Ages 6-up.
