The gates of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory are opening at last . . . and only five children will be allowed inside.
What happens when the five luckiest children in the entire world walk through the doors of Willy Wonka?s famous, mysterious chocolate factory? What happens when, one by one, the children disobey Mr. Wonka?s orders? In Dahl?s most popular story, the nasty are punished and the good are deliciously, sumptuously rewarded.
Charlie's tour through Willie Wonka's chocolate factory reveals marvelous creations more intriguing and delicious than Charlie had ever imagined. One of the most popular titles in juvenile literature, this selection was also listed as an ALA Notable Book.
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.
Gr. 5-8. Dahl's popular story about five lucky children who win a ticket to Senor Wonka's mysterious chocolate factory is reproduced in a delightful Spanish rendition that maintains the story's excitement, whimsy, and message. Despite the peninsular Spanish pronouns and conjugations (e.g., os imaginais, escuchad), young Spanish speakers from the Americas will celebrate Charlie Bucket's Billete Dorado (Golden Ticket) and his trip into an unforgettable world.
