I've adored the story of
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for as long as I can remember. Since I was a wee one. But in the spirit of full disclosure I have to tell you - this is the first time I've actually read the book. I don't know why. I've had my nose buried in books for just as long! And it's crazy since I'm a fan of Roald Dahl.
BFG. James and the Giant Peach. Matilda. Go figure. So I was totally excited when my friend
Deb from
Kahakai Kitchen announced that she was choosing
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for this round of
Cook the Books! So now along with both versions of the film adaptation, I also own the book. And I'm making sure that all my kids take turns reading it. It has the potential of being a favorite.
