Packed with stickers, puzzles, and games, this activity book is filled with wonderful things--just like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory!
Bring all the amazing sights, sounds, and smells of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory to life in this fun-filled sticker activity book. Just like Wonka's own Inventing Room, readers can let their imaginations run wild on the page! This book includes Quentin Blake's colorful art and excerpts from Roald Dahl's beloved story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Roald Dahl (1916–1990) was born in Llandaff, South Wales, and went to Repton School in England. His parents were Norwegian, so holidays were spent in Norway. As he explains in Boy, he turned down the idea of university in favor of a job that would take him to "a wonderful faraway place." In 1933 he joined the Shell Company, which sent him to Mombasa in East Africa. When World War II began in 1939, he became a fighter pilot and in 1942 was made assistant air attaché in Washington, where he started to write short stories. His first major success as a writer for children was in 1964. Thereafter his children's books brought him increasing popularity, and when he died, children mourned the world over, particularly in Britain where he had lived for many years.
