cool!

I've never read a play before, and it was an interesting sight to see what is necessary to make a play any good. The core idea of Charlie and the chocolate factory are as present as ever (which i only knew from the old movie) and each scene is fantastic. The added details in the back for ideas to populate and decorate the stage is also very interesting. I only wish that the lighting examples would have been explained a bit more, but that wasn't the goal of this book.

Ronald Dahl was my childhood

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a story adored by many. Along with five other winners, Young Charlie Bucket has found the golden ticket and has the opportunity to tour the amazing chocolate factory run by the outrageous Willy Wonka. Throughout their visit the four other children are punished due to their poor behavior and Charlie receives a fantastic surprise he will never forget. Roald Dahl uses humor and imagination to convey a message that the when you act terrible the outcome will never be good. This book is a great moral lesson to children that teachers can use. Teachers can use this book as a rule in their classroom that bad behavior will not result in a positive outcome. Another great lesson from this book is individuality. Regardless of the other children’s bad behavior Charlie behaved based on what he knew what appropriate and allowed his wonderful personality to shine through.

Dahl, R., & Schindelman, J. (1964). Charlie and the chocolate factory. New York: Knopf.

The latest installment in mine and the 7 year old's bedtime reading club. The book is just like the movie - you can't escape the movie images in your mind, even if you've only seen it once (like I have). My kid loved it (I bet she'd give it more stars). I liked the different children and the aspects of a kids personality they represent. You can identify a little bit with each of them.

My favorite thing about read this was as I read it aloud, using my limited number of voices and a British accent my daughter suddenly exclaimed "Hey! He has the same voice as the BFG!". In no way did it occur to her that I was reading it in the same voice. It was awesome.

One of my all-time favorite books.

I liked the part when he finally ate a chocolate bar because he hasn't ate for a while.It was about this boy named Charlie that his family was really poor he also lived with his four grandparents.I liked it really much because Roald Dahl is my favorite writer. Even because there's a movie of it. I recommend it to people who love chocolate of course and that likes fiction because they use lots of imagination.

it was awsome we did this play in class

Roald Dahl made very good books and funny ones too

It was fun to go on a ride with all the kids and stuff but there were some boring parts

I enjoyed the movie so much as a kid and now the book happens to be even more jolly. The descriptions are so honest (like a child would say it), so true and I love that. Wonka seems different than Depp in the movie, I like him better this way. And the grandpa of Charlie is even more Hilarious: jippie!!!
