Good reason to read on!
My daughter was engaged in Matilda's story in which it has so many peculiar plots! The characters are so vivid especially the red-neck giant Miss Trunchbull! Thanks to the precocious Matilda's formidable reading list, it gave my kid good motivation to keep reading, keep searching! For us, Matilda is definitely one of the great reading materials in 2018.

a truly wonderful book
I love Road Dahl's books and this is one his best. slightly different to both the film's. I'm always fascinated by the interpretations of Willy wonkas mannerisms as it feels every one seems to have a different idea of how he is.

Charlie is a classic treat for kids
Would you consider the audio edition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to be better than the print version?
I would consider it to be just as good, and a joy to listen to.
What other book might you compare Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to, and why?
Danny and the Champion of the World, another classic children story from R. Dahl
Which scene did you most enjoy?
I enjoyed the scene when Charlie finally got the last Chocolate bar containing the winning ticket.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Charlie and family realised there days of being poor was about to change forever.
Any additional comments?
This book is joy to listen to, a great childrens classsic :)

A Wonderful Childhood Memory
Hearing this story again returned me to the happy childhood memories when I read the book on many occasions. Reading it again was inspired by being taken to see the stage musical in London for a Birthday treat. It remains a timeless classic and not only for children.
