Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
The gates of Mr. Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory are opening at last, and only five children will be allowed inside.
And the winners are: Augustus Gloop—who will eat anything within reach; Veruca Salt—a spoiled brat; Violet Beauregarde—a gum-chewing gabber; Mike Teavee—a fiend for television; and Charlie Bucket—who is honest, kind, and true, and ready for the wildest time of his life!
