Es de esos libros que me habría gustado más de haberlo leído siendo mucho más joven. En ocasiones sentí que la historia daba para más pero el autor se restringía; más que un libro es un cuento corto. Muy fácil de leer.
Este sería un libro de unas 3.8 estrellas.
I think I could have enjoyed more of this book at a younger age. This book is more like a short story, very easy to read. The story could be more interesting and should be further developed, but the author restricted himself
3.8 stars (not only 3).

October 20, 2016Willy wonka and the chocolate factory is an amazing fun filled book. It is about a child named charlie bucket who finds a golden ticket to a chocolate factory where he goes an adventure with the owner of the factory Willy Wonka and 5 other contestants. Why I decided to read this book was because this has to be one of my favorite childhood films. One character I really liked was willy wonka. willy wonka is a very qwerky and unusual character. One thing this book taught me is that your mind has no limit to your imagination. Throughout the book things that you cant even imagine and it just ahppens on a daily basis.

There was once a very lucky kid named Charlie. Charlie lived in a poor house with six other people. Mr. and Ms. Bucket (his parents) and his four of his grandparents that were Joe and Jose, and from the dad's side, George and Georgina. They were a happy family but didn't have money. "We are lucky enough to have this house and not living in the streets" (Roald Dahl). In conclusion, The Buckets are a happy family with money situations.
The Buckets barely make enough money for food. Mr. Bucket, Charlie's father, works in a toothpaste company and doesn't make enough money to buy food and supplies for the house. It must be tough if you barely eat. The Buckets have nearly bread all day for their food and for dinner a soup. If they get lucky, they can find leftover food on restaurants.
Charlie got the fifth ticket to visit the Willy Wanka chocolate factory. Willy Wanka's chocolate factory has been closed for years because spy's were trying to steal the recipe. The spy's attracted attention and more people started hating Willy Wanka and loving other recipes that are almost the same as his. People offered money for the ticket, that made Charlie wondering but Charlie and his Grandpa George convinced him to go there because George used to work for Willy Wonka and this would be a huge opportunity to meet him again. "I used to work for Willy Wanka before he shut his factory. It wasn't like any other factory his was magical" (Roald Dahl). In conclusion, Charlie got lucky into winning the ticket.

Charlie and his Grandpa Joe, packed their bags for the day to go to the chocolate factory. They are both going because Charlie got the last golden ticket to enter the factory for a day. Charlie was very lucky into winning that ticket. When they arrived, a big crowed was waiting for them in the entrance Mr. Wonka said that the gates will open at 10:00 am. "Open the gates' said Willy Wonka on the big speakers" (Ronald Dahl). In conclusion, Charlie got the 5th ticket.
The factory wasn't like any other factory, it was magical. Everything that is made inside of the factory is made out of chocolate. Grass, trees, water everything was made of chocolate. There was a big fancy chocolate river that had a water fall or should I say, chocolate fall. "and look! There is a chocolate fountain right there!" (Ronald Dahl). Concluding, Charlie is now in the factory.
Mr. Wonka hired workers named Oompa loumpas. After Willy Wonka shut down his factory because of spies, he went out to the forest to look for a new flavor. Spies were trying to get the secret recipe to the willy wonka chocolate bars. Willy found creatures that loved coconuts and so Willy told them if they worked with him then he will give them all the coconuts he has. "Oh yeah, those are Oumpa loumpas. They work for me" (Ronald Dahl). In conclusion, Willy Wonka still had workers but didn't have humans work for them.

In chapter 7, Charlie had a birthday. In Charlies birthday he spent the day with his family in his home. Charlie didn't have anyone else to celebrate it with. For his present he got a chocolate bar because his family didn't have anything else to get him then they told him to open it and see if the golden ticket but unfortunately, the ticket wasn't there. "No, i am going to share it. It's mine and my decision is to share it" (Ronald Dahl). In conclusion, Charlie had a birthday and celebrated it with his family.
In chapter 8, the 3rd golden ticket was found. Charlie and his family were watching the news and saw that the 3rd golden ticket was found. That leaves Charlie two tickets to find. Violet Beauregard was the one who won the ticket she hold the championship for the longest chewing of gum. "It has been announced that Violet Beauregard is the lucky winner for the 3rd ticket" (Ronald Dahl). In conclusion, the 3rd winner of the golden ticket is found.
Shorty after the 3rd ticket was found, the 4th ticket was found. A boy who loves to play video games and kill fictional people know as Mike Teave has won the 4th ticket. There is 1 more ticket left for Charlie to find. A rumor has been going around saying that the 5th ticket is found from a russian but that was a fake ticket so he tried to cheat his way in. "I heard the fifth ticket is found" (Ronald Dahl). In conclusion, there is 1 last ticket left.

good reads Charlie and the Chocolate factory
Most of the people I know don`t know this but I don`t really like candy, but chocolate can be one of my favorite things when I am hungry. I this case the book I read a few years ago called Charlie and the Chocolate factory amazed me and made me hungry all the time I read it. This book is really related to the dreams of a kid at the age of Charlie. Which is a boy who is not economicly good but has a great love for chocolate. He is a really mature kid that follows his dream on going to Willy wonka`s chocolate factory. This book is not as others which take too long to get to the points and exciting parts. On the other side this book never stops the fun in the kids journey. Charlie and the Chocolate factory is a book I really recommend and enjoyed reading.

This is a fun chapter book for elementary students. The story is interesting and simple. It focuses on the a poor child who wins a Golden Ticket to tour the secretive chocolate factory. Along the tour, the children of lesser character are slowly picked off in ethically troubling ways.
Students could discuss whether or not the punishment fits the crime, predict how certain characters would be removed, and even write their own extra section to explain how they would give in to their own temptations and be removed from the tour.

This is such a well-done, fun piano book to play out of! It is advanced, so this is not the book to get for a beginner musician, but for someone who wants to play something challenging and close to the actual music from the well-loved movie.
The "Golden Ticket" and "Candyman" songs are my favorites to play. It's exciting and joy-bringing to my fingers, being a teenager who's played piano since she was around six, and to my ears, haha! When we were younger, I'd play "Candyman" and my younger brother would sing.
This is one of the best movie-music piano books I have!

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is an extrordanary book that brings candy and sweets into the center of attention. Read this book and Travel to the Chocolate Waterfall, Square Candies that Look Round, and much more!

I read this book as a kid, and then just finished a reread to see if it stood the test of time and adulthood.
A resounding yes.
Just as entertaining, just as wonderful as an adult.
Roald Dahl is a genius.

When Willy Wonka gives out several golden tickets, children must prove themselves worthy of a prize at the end of the journey.
