Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Written by Roald Dahl
Illustrated by Quentin Blake 

Author study 3


Who doesn't know the story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Well a quick overview is Charlie and his family were very poor. Then one day Mr. Willy Wonka, the owner of the largest chocolate factory in the world, decided to let 5 children come into his factory. These 5 children were chosen by finding one of five golden tickets inside one of Wonka's candy bars. During the tour of the factory, 4 children came out, but one stayed inside with Mr. Wonka. Charlie and his grandfather were so excited to meet Mr. Wonka and eat all of the chocolate they want.

I love this story. It is fun and whimsical. It allows the reader to imagine what it would be like to be Charlie or Willy Wonka. I have never read this book before. I watched the movie, so as I was reading all I could think about was compareing the two. I found that I was really surprised at the book and the movie. They were very similar. I liked being able to find the small differences between the movie and the book. It made me more intune with the small details.
