Fans of the classic children's novel and Broadway musical will love our Mad Libs! It's scrumdiddlyumptious!

It's been over 50 years since the original publication of Roald Dahl's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but this beloved classic is more popular than ever. Kids and adults will love interacting with Charlie, Veruca, Augustus, and of course Willy Wonka in a whole new way by filling in the blanks of the 21 stories inside this book. It's a journey almost as magical as Wonka's chocolate factory! Almost.
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.
