Book Reviews of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Book Review: 3rd grade reading
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this book for my 8 year old daughter who had to have it for her 3rd grade reading/vocabulary assignment. The teacher wanted them to be able to highlight certain things in it so they had to have their own copy. My daughter liked the book and the school project.

Summary of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

The gates of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory are opening at last . . . and only five children will be allowed inside.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, along with Roald Dahl's other tales for younger readers, make him a true star of children's literature. Dahl seems to know just how far to go with his oddball fantasies; in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, for example, nasty Violet Beauregarde blows up into a blueberry from sneaking forbidden chewing gum, and bratty Augustus Gloop is carried away on the river of chocolate he wouldn't resist. In fact, all manner of disasters can happen to the most obnoxiously deserving of children because Dahl portrays each incident with such resourcefulness and humor.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a singular delight, crammed with mad fantasy, childhood justice and revenge, and as much candy as you can eat. The book is also available in Spanish (Charlie y la Fabrica de Chocolate). (The suggested age range for this book is 9-12, but nobody this reviewer has met can resist it, including New York City bellhops, flight attendants, and grumpy teenagers.)
