Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the story of Charlie Bucket. Charlie lives with his parents, and all four of his bedridden grandparents in a small shack. His family is very poor. The famous chocolatier, Willy Wonka sends out five hidden invitations to his chocolate factory. Charlie finds one of them. Charlie and grandpa go on a crazy adventure through the chocolate factory, and at the end he wins the gift of a lifetime!
This would be a great read aloud for 2nd grade on up. This would also be a great personal read for students 4-6.
This is a fun book that would allow students to use their imaginations. The plot and characters are very believable. The only drawback is that there are absolutely no differences between the book and the movie, so it is obviously very predictable. Though it is a fun story, it is not something that I would go out of my way to have in my classroom.
