I took the girls to the cinema for a treat to see Wonka. Great soundtrack, great effects but you can‘t beat the original 🍫 🍿 🎥

Charityann I enjoyed this movie too! But the original is hard to beat.😄 2mo

My favorite part of this story is when the little boy falls into the chocolate river, it teaches the importance of greed and shows that someone who is humble will prevail

This is a story I enjoyed when I was young, the idea of a poor child winning the ability to go to this magic place, and all of the elements of the story being so out of the ordinary would attract of the attention of a young reader

“So please, oh PLEASE, we beg, we pray, Go throw your TV set away, And in its place you can install, A lovely bookshelf on the wall.” — Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I love my 11 year old granddaughter's bookshelf! She is a reader and a geek of the best kind! She is just like her Mama, @MothAndMoons

The little miss and I have finished Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I‘m especially fond of the Oompa-Loompa‘s take on the TV. 😊

One of my sons - two week Holiday break from school....

MinDea I love that movie! Surprisingly I have never read that book! 6y
Anna40 My son loves it too! 6y
CatLass007 My mom always said that Charlie looks like my little brother when he was that age. He does. But now he‘s 51 and a jerk. But he still my little brother so nobody else better say that! 6y
mgallo1968 My son‘s favorite spot is in his bed. It drives me crazy. The other day I told him to get out out of the hole he has made in his bed-haha. I told him he reminded me of the grandparents in the movie just sitting in their bed! 6y

I started this yesterday, and I'm loving the illustrations in this Danish translation 👌

2BR02B Grandpa Joe is such an ass. He lays around in bed like an invalid, letting Mrs. Bucket wait on him hand and foot, until a golden ticket shows up and he conveniently recovers enough to dance around. He didn't deserve a trip to the chocolate factory. 6y
AlaMich @2BR02B Didn't all the grandparents lay around in bed being waited on hand and foot? 6y
2BR02B @AlaMich yes, but for all were know they were legitimately disabled whereas GJ was clearly a faker. 6y

AlaMich @2BR02B 😂😂 6y
Kalalalatja @2BR02B I hadn't thought about it, but know you mention it, Granpa Joe was a big cheat! But in general, all the grandparents felt a little like cheaters. I mean, you live seven people in a small house, only one of you have a job, and you are starving. At least, they could have let Mrs. Bucket go to work. 6y

It's time for#bookriot #riotgrams again... And the topic is #favoritevillain. Who is my favourite villain? I'll have to duck rotten tomatoes if I say Gilbert Blythe, won't I? Ok, ok! Willy Wonka, then.

Ok it sure is #bestcharactername but even the worst name might sound good if you give it a shot 😁 All right, I am kidding #littens, I just wanted to add a funny name to the mix! Btw have you ever met someone named Veruca?! 😄

I-read-and-eat Never have. But I came across it in a Latin texts a while ago and finaly found out it means 'wart'. Never knew that. What an awfull name 😁 7y
LeahBergen A verruca is a wart! 😂😂 7y
Alma @I-read-and-eat @LeahBergen That's disgusting!! I have always thought it meant something like that, in french we say "verrue" so there it is!!! ? Poor little girl hhhh but well she was a spoiled brat, Roald Dahl chose wisely ?? 7y
