A Fantástica Fábrica de Chocolate

I read this with my daughter. She rated it a 5/5, and it was a 4/5 for me, so together a 4.5.
She loved all the imagery of delicious candy, and all the pictures. She loved the idea of a palace you can eat, and wants one for herself. I think she really loved Charlie got a happy ending. At one point she leaned over to me and asked very seriously, “Mom, why are none of the kids listening to Willy Wonka?”
That being said, it is a little dark in some places, but we had some good conversations about the heavier topics as we were reading.

I don't generally like stories that are so crazy and unlikely, but I can't deny that it was fun to read. I'm not sure it's that child-friendly, though, unless you're reading it with them and explaining. The reason I say this is because there is name-calling, which I would not like younger kids to read much of. There may be lessons in the story, but it's a bit cold and unfeeling, at least from the Oompa-Loompas and Mr. Wonka.
