I think this may have been the boys' favorite book I've ever read aloud to them. And who WOULDN'T love this book? How could it not capture any kids' imagination? Just the setting alone, of a magnificent, magical chocolate factory, is enough to set any kids' imaginations on fire. Add to that the magical great glass elevator, and the Oompa Loompas, and Charlie being given the chocolate factory at the end--it just doesn't get any better. Even after reading just the first chapter, Graham was already begging me to take them to a chocolate factory. We may have to look up and see if there are any chocolate "factories" around here--but they will definitely be disappointing after Mr. Wonka's chocolate factory.
