Can‘t celebrate any kind of chocolate day without good old Charlie Bucket! 🍫

“Good morning sunshine! The Earth says hello!“

I think that this a great story for the students to think and create their own factory and allow them to express their imagination in a variety of ways.

By Roald Dahl, this story talks about a boy who finds a golden ticket which allows him to visit a local chocolate factory full of magic and wonders. This story takes the students on an adventure and becomes close to Willy Wonka.

“I gotta golden ticket!“

This would be great to recommend to higher readers in third grade as an independent reading book. I think it would also be great to use as a class read aloud to interpret text and learn new reading and writing skills.

Charlie and the Chocolate factory is a fan favorite. Charlie searches for the right Wonka bar to get into the Chocolate factory. When he wins, he and his grandfather go on a wild adventure.

My absolute favorite book about #candy!

Day 5 of #OminousOctober & today's word is Candy.

This is one of my favourite childhood books &, although I know it's not to everyone's taste, I absolutely love the more recent film version with Johnny Depp. I think it was true to Dahl's book with a dark undertone.

I didn't want to be predictable with the chocolate post, but this works well as a double post 😁

I figured The Chocolate Room from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a fitting chapter for today‘s #ChocolateDay 🍫 prompt 😊

My kids got to see their first play today…Charlie & The Chocolate Factory at the State Theatre (in New Brunswick, NJ). It was lovely to experience the play with them; we love the book and both movies…my husband and I are partial to the Gene Wilder adaptation. 🍫🍫🍫

So excited!!!

Another car listen with the kids while on the road. We all enjoyed this. #AwesomeApril

This book was really cute! I hope any of The Office fans out there understand the Michael Scott bookmark 😆#aprilreads

#SavvySettings @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

Another favorite by Roald Dahl. I'll be honest, I'm not a big fan of the remake. I'm partial to the Gene Wilder movie. I'd give anything to visit this candy factory and tour the #Bakery

Nothing says #Chocolate like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 🍫😬 #ItHadToBeYou 💖

#BookNerd 🤓💙📚

Seen both movies but never read the book. It was a quick and fun read. Sorta followed the movies and sorta not. Glad to have read it.

A long overdue one for me! #bookspinbingo #LittenListen

@TheAromaofBooks

My class‘s last book club book of the year and while it isn‘t my favorite the kids absolutely loved it!!

Gift from a friend!
It was only supposed to be the bags for easter egg hunt...but when they arrived each bag contained an awesome book and treat and everything matches! 😱😎🤗😍

I had fun again reading this to my daughter. She is really into Roald Dahl right now.

I loved Roald Dahl as a kid but somehow never read the big ones. This was better than I expected, having only seen the older movie version. I like how Wonka deals with the wretched horrible children. Now I can see the parallels in the Lemoncello books better, too. Another finish for #FabulousFebruary

I'm such a fan of this book. I love everything about it.The four grandparents living on the bed (very 2020 by the way), Charlie is so sweet, the Oompa-Loompas and their songs, Mr Wonka is SO funny and I love his logic (or should I say his illogic) behind every invention and his explanations of how things work. It's simply fantastic ♥️

Finished my first book of my spring semester! I never knew before Monday that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a book and I didn‘t know half of Dahl‘s books were written by him. What a phenomenal read. I loved it. Absolutely amazing. Felt innocence bleed through the pages. And it wasn‘t so creepy like the movie...

This a low pick because I definitely liked the first movie better. This was fun on audio. There was music but the singing was a little off (maybe because I was listening at 1.75 most of the time 😂)

First book of 2021 finished

Charlie and four other children visit a chocolate factory.

Even as an adult, I like reading children books. It's the first time, I've read this one. As a child, I think I only read The BFG by him, and I keep great memories of it.
As an adult, I love Roald Dahl's children books, and I also would love to discover his short stories for adults. His books offer a great escape. It's good to sometimes disconnect from our world, and this book was perfect for that.

For today‘s card‘s theme of #temptation, Charlie and the Chocolate factory immediately came to mind, since my post election stress-eating struggle not to eat all the Halloween candy in the house is very, very real😅

Charlie and the chocolate factory is about a little boy who is very poor. He wins a golden ticket to tour The Chocolate Factory along with 4 other children and by Mr. Wonka himself. One by One the children come to conflicts that get them taken out of the factory. The themes are kindness, hope, family, and chaos. If you like books about children and the secrets that Wonka has about making his spectacular chocolates, then you will enjoy this book.

Thought my fellow Littens, especially those with #LittenKittens would enjoy seeing my latest pick for #audiopuzzling. It turned out to be more of a kid‘s puzzle in terms of difficulty but I couldn‘t resist the combo of books and cat puns! 😂🤓
The Clawdyssey is my personal favorite.

Willy Wonka IRL ... I read Jelly Belly owner has a treasure hunt planned where you could ultimately win a candy factory. Is that crazy or reality?

Finished my first line in #bookspinbingo
Born a Crime by Trevor Noah was definitely my favorite. Least favorite was Mrs. Fletcher by Tom Perrota. Moving on to the bottom row to try for two lines this month.

@TheAromaofBooks

What better thing to do when you can't sleep then start the book that will get a BINGO for #bookspinbingo
Can't read this without a chocolate near by, just in case.

🎯 We NEED this!

Another april summary. Some challenges I participated in: #readwithmrbook #monthlymotifgxo #peanutbuttertaco #yaapril #booked2020

#7days7books day3 There was a point with all 3 of my daughters when it came time to start reading chapter books to them and it was always this one which i have just pinched from one of their book cases. I also think it was an edition that came free with a box of cereal. A very important book in my life and this photo reminds me that i once had colour in my hair 😂

7 books that mean a lot to me #day1

My mum worked at a playgroup when I was a lil‘un. She was a wonderful teacher and taught me (and so many others) to read at a very young age.

It breaks my heart that she has now lost almost all her words, and cannot read anymore, as she suffers from advanced early-onset Alzheimers.

I remember the day we picked this out together, and I‘ve reread it SO many times 💕

I‘ve been reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory aloud to the girls. Today G kept insisting one more chapter! After three chapters, I had to stop because Florence clearly was no longer interested. Genevieve lost her ever loving shit and went on a rampage, which ended with her locking herself in the bedroom with the book. She just came out with the biggest grin on her face and whispered to me “Charlie found the fifth ticket!” 🥰

Love it...love the book, both movies (the one with gene wilder will always be my favorite ☺️....*sigh* childhood). Willie Wonka May have been closer to insane than not tho lol 😁

Oompa-loompas 😄

This is sooooo speaking to the big kid in me 🥰, I figured after reading this I‘ll watch both movies....not like I have anywhere to go today 😊
