Synopsis

Poverty stricken, ten year old Charlie Bucket is the winner of the fifth golden ticket!   He finds the golden ticket inside the wrapper of a Wonka Chocolate Bar.  Charlie wins a lifetime supply of chocolate and a tour of Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.  Charlie chooses Grandpa Joe to accompany him on a tour of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.  Charlie and the four other golden ticket winners begin the tour.  The other children, debilitated by their glutton and greed, ultimately, miss out on an adventure of a lifetime.  Charlie, through his gratitude and enthusiasm, wins a ticket out of poverty for himself and his family.

Another oldie, but goodie; we read this book aloud.  My eleven, eight and four year old children loved this book.  They enjoyed discovering  the differences between the book, the “Johnny Depp” movie version and the “Gene Wilder” movie version.  We are just fostering those analytical skills, right?
