Summary: We all know the story of young Charlie Bucket who dreams of getting a golden ticket to visit the one and only Mr. Willy Wonka. The story of Willy Wonka follows the famous group of children who find the iconic golden ticket to visit Mr. Wonka along with one of there parents. The story goes to each child and what happens along the way though the tour of Mr. Wonka's factory. 

Evaluation: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a great story that was a personal favorite along with the movie that followed staring Gene Wilder as Mr. Willy Wonka. It is a great story for older students to read, and even great for teachers to read in segments to give students a great fantasy story that incorporates magic within human situations, and events. I would highly recommend reading this story to your students, having it in your library, and reading it to your kids.

  1. Charlie and Chocolate Factory is a great book for kids. I remember reading it in second grade. Have you ever read the sequel Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator?
