A long long time ago, my 7th grade teacher suggested I catalog the books I read. I quit after a few years and have regretted that decision ever since. It's never too late to start anew. I have a habit of grading books and do so here.

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Dahl
This is another borrowing from the library of Eloise Anne Fairchild, my wonderful granddaughter. Charlie Bucket lived close by the Wonka Chocolate Factory when its proprietor, Willy, announced that the five children who found the Golden Tickets would receive a special tour. One day, Charlie found a dollar in the snow, purchased a candy bar and found a Golden Ticket. Charlie and his Grandpa Joe showed up on the appointed day. Oh the sights they saw: a chocolate waterfall, a field of gum, Oompa-Loompa workers, the fudge room, the chocolate river, and gobstoppers. Some of the children could not control themselves and greedily ate in the factory. Augustus floated away and into a pipe. Violet ballooned into a fat blueberry. Veruca was bratty and selfish and 100 squirrels carried her away to the garbage chute. Mike was so enamored with TV watching that he flew himself into the Wonka TV transporter. Only Charlie Bucket was left, and Willy declared him the winner. Because Willly liked Charlie the best, he told him that as soon as he was old enough, the factory was his. Willy gave the Chocolate Factory to Charlie.
