by Roald Dahl
Lexile: 810
Subjects: childhood, friendship, adventure
Dahl's classic story about adventure within the walls of a clandestine chocolate factory is deeply satisfying to children. I worried a bit about Dahl's over-the-top style for a younger reader, but my son inhaled this book at age 4 without a problem. The sequel, "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator," is scarier with its outer-space characters and is probably better for slightly older readers.
