Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has become a nightly hit in our household, especially in the Kindle edition. I picked this up to read to my 8-year-old daughter, and it’s now a treasured part of our bedtime routine. Plus, it's an excuse for me to revisit my childhood without having to explain why I'm reading a children's book alone.Right from the start, Roald Dahl’s world is captivating. The story of Charlie Bucket, his golden ticket adventure, and the wild wonders of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory is just as engaging now as it was when I was a kid. My daughter is absolutely hooked, and I’m pretty sure she’s considering a future career in chocolate tasting.One of our favorite parts is the character voices. I try to channel my inner Gene Wilder while reading, which is equal parts entertaining and disastrous. My Willy Wonka impression sounds like a mix between a mad scientist and a game show host, but it keeps my daughter in stitches. Her giggles are the best part of the day.The Kindle edition is a lifesaver because it means we can read anywhere—at home, or on the go. The adjustable font size is a plus for when my daughter wants a read. And the illustrations? Perfectly preserved, just like in the physical book.Beyond the fun, the story sneaks in some great life lessons about kindness and humility, and the consequences of greed and bad behavior. It’s a gentle way to remind kids (and sometimes adults) about the importance of good values without sounding like a lecture.In short, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a must-read for families. It’s fun, engaging, and a great way to bond over a shared story. Plus, it’s given me a chance to perfect my (terrible) character impressions. Highly recommended, and a solid 5 stars!

Exactly what I expected and even better because of the nice drawings (specially for kids) perfect to read with children

Charlie and the chocolate factory was my childhood favourite book and now my son loves it. It worth reading if you haven't

Classic book, kids love it

As a child I had mixed feelings about Dahl's books, but loved the films, especially the classic Gene Wilder version. Now that I have a little boy of my own I'm working on instilling the magic of books, and decided to try him on a paperback of the Fantastic Mr Fox - he loved it, and so did I. Next up some more substantial fare - enter Charlie. I have to say the book is great - I'm enjoying reading it and my son (very nearly 4) is fascinated by all the details - cabbage soup for dinner and mattresses on the floor etc.I was particularly interested to see how he'd take to being read to from my tablet - he loves it and likes watching me flick the pages - I was a little worried the medium would be intrusive, but actually I think it works really well.I haven't yet picked up any of the page-setting errors other reviewers have noted,so these may well have been remedied now, and the illustrations are luminous and lovely on my Blackberry Playbook (with side-loaded android kindle). I am particularly pleased to see that the kindle version is appropriately priced at £1.99 compared to the full price for the paperback.

Classic book my son loves it

Great reading book for my son to take to school. Even has a page where he can write his name so it doesn't get lost or mistaken for one of the schools books

Very happy daughter as she is going as oompa loompa to book day

Loved this book as a child and happy to show it to my child. Book is well constructed.
