(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Quentin Blake. Blake's energetic black-and-white illustrations enliven and update Dahl's cautionary rags-to-riches story, where impoverished, unassuming little Charlie Bucket outlasts the selfish other four candidates to win the grand prize: Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. The slapdash effect of the whimsical drawings matches Wonka's hyperactive speech and the generally frenetic narrative.
