My youngest daughter read this book when she was six years old and I think it is largely responsible for her being the avid reader that she is today.

We read this book together, a chapter per night and found that on the one hand she was desperate to continue with the book, as she got nearer the end she wanted to slow donw because she didn't want it to finish!!

to me, this must be the whole objective of any author.

The story was silly, funny, sad and utterly ridiculous, which was why she loved it!!

I have two older daughter who have read this book and all three agree that this book was what started them off on the wonderous journey of reading.

Charlie is a great character only outshone by the characters of his grandad and Willie Wonka.

The journey into the factory is straight out of our childrens imagination.

Roahl Dahl is a wonderful author and all my children have read just about every children's book that he has ever written. But, it all started with Charlie and his Chocolate Factory!!
