All I ever wanted to know about the making of my favorite movie! I was saying, "Did you know...." to everyone for a few days after this one. Some interesting stuff, certainly, but if you don't obsess about the movie like I do, it may be pretty humdrum.
A poor little boy wins a ticket to visit the inside of a mysterious and magical chocolate factory. When he experiences the wonders inside the factory, the boy discovers that the entire visit is a test of his character. Based on the book by Roald Dahl.
Five children tour an eccentric candy-maker's factory.

I love this book. I read it as a 3rd grade read aloud. The children loved this story. It is about a boy named charlie who finds a golden ticket. This ticket allows him to spend a day at Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. This is a great book to read because you can watch the movie when you are done.
