From the author of The BFG and Matilda!

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!

Amazon.com Review

For the first time in a decade, Willy Wonka, the reclusive and eccentric chocolate maker, is opening his doors to the public--well, five members of the public to be exact. The lucky five who find a Golden Ticket in their Wonka chocolate bars will receive a private tour of the factory, given by Mr. Wonka himself. For young Charlie Bucket, this a dream come true. And, when he finds a dollar bill in the street, he can't help but buy two Wonka's Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delights--even though his impoverished family could certainly use the extra dollar for food. But as Charlie unwraps the second chocolate bar, he sees the glimmer of gold just under the wrapper! The very next day, Charlie, along with his unworthy fellow winners Mike Teavee, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, and Augustus Gloop, steps through the factory gates to discover whether or not the rumors surrounding the Chocolate Factory and its mysterious owner are true. What they find is that the gossip can't compare to the extraordinary truth, and for Charlie, life will never be the same again. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, another unforgettable masterpiece from the legendary Roald Dahl, never fails to delight, thrill, and utterly captivate. (Ages 9 to 12) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From School Library Journal

Gr 3-6-Who doesn't know Dahl's story of poverty-stricken little Charlie Bucket who finds one of Willie Wonka's golden tickets and, along with four other children, gets a tour of his amazing chocolate factory? Each of the other children demonstrates a common childhood failing, to extreme-gluttony, greediness, excessive gum-chewing, and TV addiction. As, one by one, they fall prey to the factory's enticements, soon only Charlie is left and he gets the ultimate prize. What's not to love in a story that circles around niceness and chocolate? Listeners will find themselves once again rooting for Charlie as Douglas Hodge performs the book with vim, vigor, tons of expression, and the occasional sound effect. This is a joyous leap into a childhood classic that both children and adults will enjoy.-Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary, Federal Way, WAα(c) Copyright 2013.

timeless classic

ByKarl Neuhauson March 30, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

My daughter really liked the book and the characters. It allows you to use your imagination and at the same time there is a lesson to be learned. It was an easy read.

Great story.

ByHow hard can it be?on January 9, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Great story. I was given this book as a kid. My wife loves sentimental things, so I gave a copy to her. My original book vanished into the ether, years ago.

Gene Wilder was so much fun to watch in the first movie, but Johnny Depp reminded me more of the original story in his movie version. All three are excellent, book and 2 movies.

Classic Children's Story

BySarahon June 9, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I began reading this book to my kids at bedtime when they were just 5 and 3. They are 7 and 5 now with a little sister who is hearing it for the first time. It continues to be a hit. Full of humor, fun, and imagination, they laugh and get pulled into the story as if they were in the chocolate factory themselves. The language is simple, but not dumbed down. There are good messages about things kids should avoid doing or being, such as: eating too much candy, chewing too much gum, watching too much TV, or being selfish and demanding. Charlie and his grandpa are endearing characters. I love reading it with them as much as they enjoy hearing it.

Morality Tale for Children and Adults

ByEvaon December 19, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

When I was in first grade, I broke me arm and dislocated my shoulder. The best part of my recuperation was that every night, my father would read to me. The book he brought home was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I love the humor of it, the fitting ends of each of the misbehaving children, and the sheer wonder of a place as magical as Willie Wonka's factory. The 50th anniversary edition (strange to realize I'm older than this book) has new artwork, which I didn't like as much as the original, and the Oompa Loompas have been redesigned, which I also didn't like. Classic books should stay as they were written. But the core of the story remains intact.

What a Fun Story!

ByDavid Charles Hugheson September 27, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The last time I experienced Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in book form was about eight years after its publication, in 1972 or 1973: As best I can recall, my third-grade teacher read the story out loud to our class, but at that time I didn't appreciate Roald Dahl's amazing ability to tell a fun story. I downloaded the Kindle edition a few weeks ago to use as background material for a short story I wrote, and the book instantly grabbed me and pulled me in. It didn't take me long to finish it, a reflection of not only the low page count but Dahl's writing as well. It was like romping through a literary amusement park, and I'm sure I wore a smile the whole time I read it. Thanks to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I rediscovered what good fun writing is all about, and will strive to reflect this sense of joy in my own writing.

Kid loves it but remember it's abridged.

ByLuxetteon July 15, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

It's done very well and the illustrations from Quentin Blake are lovely.

Remember though that because it's a pop up book it's not going to contain the entire story. Square Candies that Look Round for example is missing.

Our daughter, an avid Charlie Chocolate Factory fan noted paragraphs and chapters were missing. She was ok after I explained it but just wanted to let others know if their children are particular like mine.

The Classics Never Get Old

ByAfro Chic TXon December 20, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Purchased the book after my seven-year-old happened upon the movie on Netflix. Told her we'd read the story before watching. Was a bit worried she's lose interest as there are very few illustrations in the book but was very wrong. She's so engaged and excited every night to read what happens next. Awesome life lessons hidden in plain sight. The giant golden ticket in the beginning is a nice touch. Purchased the 15 book set so that she can discover new classic favorites.

A classic

A childhood classic. The masterful Rhoald Dahl does it again. Better than either film.... though that isn't hard with the Johnny Depp one.
