Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a children's book by author Roald Dahl. Director Mel Stuart brought the book to the big screen in 1971 titled Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a story about a young poverty stricken boy, Charlie Bucket, who races against time trying to find a "Golden Ticket." These golden tickets are hidden in candy bars all over the world and the finder of these tickets will win a tour to the candy factory that is owned by Willy Wonka. Even though the factory has been locked up for years, Wonka is opening it for one special day. Take the tour with Charlie and his grandfather and enjoy adventures with the "Oompa Loompas," magical boat rides and rooms where everything is made from candy.

• "Rarely, if ever, has a morality tale been dressed up in such an entertaining story. Dahl clearly has a point to make here, but never does the reader feel he is preaching; he's just reveling in giving spoiled kids their most perfectly just comeuppance." - Commonsense Media
