Charlie Bucket, a boy from a family of little wealth, was lucky enough to win one of the five golden tickets for a tour of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, the greatest in the world. When the day for the tour comes, Charlie’s Grandpa Joe goes with him and together they are the only two who follow Mr. Wonka’s rules, making it through to the end of the day and winning the factory. The chocolate factory is now Charlie’s, and they enter the glass elevator and fly to Charlie’s house. This story is very light-hearted and humorous. The main theme I got from this book is that good things come in small packages; and with this, when you think about Charlie being less fortunate than others for most of his life, living in poverty, he finally catches a break finding the golden ticket. The book contains cartoon-like illustrations in black and white, possibly with water paints. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory would most likely be best fit for children between age 8 and 12.
