Summary: It's Raining Candy
Review: A Review by DanneyA young boy by the name of Charlie Bucket living in a low poverty level of an area; in a small wooden house being shared by six other relatives. Young Charlie and his family aren't making a whole lot of money considering that only his mom and dad work. One day Mr. Willy Wonka presents to the public a contest that will allow 5 winners to go into his very own factory and at the end of the day they will go home with a lifetime supply of Wonka candy. Will our Charlie Find a golden ticket and win? I like how this book is very creative with all kinds of things. Like the snozzberries, the edible marshmallow pillows, and the all favored Ommpa-Loompas. I like how the book is very descriptive about what is happening with all of the little children. The climax isn't to suspenseful but the most suspense you get is when something happens to a child. I think Mr. Wonka is very energetic for his old age; but he brings the children to their type of dream worlds, filled with magic and candy. I personally recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy and humor. The book isn't hard to read and it is fun for children of all ages.

Summary: Delicious, Sweet and An Imaginative Classic
Review: This book needs very little encouragement. Its fame transcends any critical reviews that could never do it justice. Dahl's imagination is truly justified in this fabulous rags-to-riches children's tale. I highly recommend this to any young readers. Parents do yourselves a favor and read this to your child before you share the movie with them. Although Gene Wilder and the colorful sets and actors couldn't have been outdone by any other reproduction of this classic, it is better to read, then watch, than it is to watch, then hope for them to read. They'll thank you for it later. Happy reading!

I am only 18 and I know this book is quite old but everyone I have talked too has told me they loved this book and the movie.

Summary: A Children's Classic
Review: Fact: Roald Dahl is an amazing author with tons of great books under his belt.
With that said, if you're going to embark into the world of Dahl, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" has to be your first read. While I do think some of Dahl's other books such as "Matilda" or "The BFG" are better, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" shows the brilliance of Dahl.
Most of us know the general story of this book. A young, poor boy who wins the oppertunity to tour the Wonka factory, discovering a magical world hidden within it's walls. You have to know a story is good when it inspires not only a movie, but a candy company.
I love how this book paints each charecter and scene without overloading the reader with details. The reader feels like they are right beside Charlie, touring the factory with him.
At the end the real reason to the tour is explained in a touching way that leaves the reader feeling that no matter what your background may be, anything is possible if you dream big enough. And if you ask me, this is a message every kid needs to hear these days.

Summary: Charlie and The Chcoclate Factory
Review: Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
By Roald Dahl Just imagine that your have just found out that a famous chocolate maker of you town has a contest to find five different golden tickets, inside a candy bar rapper. If you find a ticket you win a tour of the giant Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory. While you are on the tour things happen to the children like getting sucked up a tube of chocolate, chewing a piece of special gum that turns you into a big giant blueberry, getting attacked by squirrels throwing nuts at you, and being sucked into a television that's chocolate and getting turned into a midget. And the whole time you must not touch or eat anything that is not tested and be fully aware of everything.
For Charlie Bucket this was an extraordinary visit to the biggest chocolate factory in the world, in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, By Roald Dahl. In this book Charlie Bucket and his family including his mom and dad and his 4 grandparents, are starving, poor, and live in a very small house with only a kitchen and one bedroom, which everyone shared. As Charlie is walking home from school one day in the cold winter he found a dollar bill on the sidewalk. He decides to go to a candy store to by a chocolate bar and run home to give the rest of the money to his mom and dad to by food. Instead the chocolate bar he had was so good he had to have another. As soon as he opened the second chocolate bar he saw a flash of gold and he stood there amazed he had found the last golden ticket!
In Charlie and The Chocolate Factory weird things pop-up all the time. One incident was this: Charlie was the last person to stay for the tour, and Willy Wonka had a glass elevator that could go every where from up, to down, to sideways, even diagionally. Charlie didn't know it but Willy Wonka had a special trip for him. They walked into the elevator terribly frightened. Willy Wonka pressed a button that said, "UP AND OUT." And suddenly the elevator speed upwards-no twistings or turnings and kept going faster and faster. Suddenly they heard a lout crash and saw wood flying all over. And soon enough they saw the whole town under their feet. (Remember it was a glass elevator). It felt to them like they weren't standing on anything. Since it was going so fast Grandpa Joe asked how fast it was going, and Willy Wonka repeated, "Candy power! One million candy power!"
If you enjoy fiction stories that are filled with comedy and imagination his book Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is for you.

Summary: Charlie's Dreams Come True
Review: What kid wouldn't love to tour a chocolate factory that no one had visited for several years? What kid wouldn't want access to secrets held by the greatest candy maker ever?
What kid wouldn't want to embark on a wild adventure and meet the amazing, Willy Wonka?
I can't think of one who wouldn't! :-)
I know I would love to do all of those things and I'm not even a kid anymore... well, I guess I'm a kid at heart.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is an amazing book. I was first exposed to this story by my 3rd grade teacher, as a whole class read aloud. And from that day forward, I was a lover of the writings of Roald Dahl.
I have since read this story every year of my teaching career to my own classes. And I can honestly say that I have not found a class yet that has not loved the story of Charlie's amazing adventure! This is one of the greatest books ever written for children... and I really mean that!
Roald Dahl introduces us to the Bucket family, an unfortunate family who struggles to survive on the money Mr. Bucket makes as a toothpaste cap screwer.
One day Mr. Bucket is laid off from his job and the family begins to starve. One member of the family, little Charlie, struggles to subsist on bread and cabbage soup. Poor Charlie finds himself starving to death, when one day he finds a dollar in the snow and his whole life changes. With this dollar Charlie buys a candy bar just to fill his stomach and gets so much more than he could ever imagine. Charlie becomes the 5th child to find a golden ticket and with it, has the marvelous opportunity to visit Mr. Wonka's chocolate factory. At the factory Charlie meets up with a most wild assortment of characters:
* Augustus Gloop: A large boy who loves to eat more than anything in the world. His uncontrollable appetite leads him to a sticky end. * Veruca Salt: A spolied rotten young lady. Who is prone to terrible tantrums when she can't get what she wants. Her greed leads her to a messy exit. * Violet Beauregard: An incessant gum chewer who chomps and chomps her jaws day in and day out. Her insatiable desire for gum leads to her chewy end. * Mike Teevee: A crazy Television addict, whose love for TV sends him zipping through the stratosphere. * The Oompa Loompas: A group of melodic factory workers who work for Mr. Wonka, and act as a chorus in a greek tragedy. Their silly songs are one of the many highlights of this book. * Mr. Willy Wonka: The enegmatic ruler of a chocolate universe. He has more secrets and surprises than we could ever hope for. I highly reccommend this book for kids from 0 to 99! It is a nice read aloud for younger children, at an appropriate independent reading level for 3rd through 5th graders and can easily hold the attention of an adult. Read this wonderful book you will not be disappointed!
