CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY by Roald Dahl

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl is one of my all time favorite chapter books. As a kid I was sucked in immediately, and it was such a joy when the same just happened for Callie!

Willy Wonka is the world's most amazing inventor of chocolate and candy. His factory hums, smokes, and fills the town with the most delicious of smells. That is until his secrets are stolen by competitors and produced in other factories. The gates to the chocolate factory are closed and locked never to open again, or are they?

One morning there are noises heard behind the gates. Mr. Wonka makes an announcement that 5 golden tickets have been hidden inside the wrappers of 5 Wonka candy bars. The five children who find them will gain admittance inside the fantastic factory and a lifetime supply of chocolate. But is that the only reason for the opening of the gates or does Mr. Wonka have a plan that no one else is privy to?
