I particularly like this part of the story because of how it shows the suspense each member of the family feels as Charlie unwraps the chocolate bar, knowing that there is only one Golden Ticket left. It also reflects Charlie’s kind and humble character when he tries to share his only present with his family.
Why have I chosen this text from Roald Dahl? Well, because I love poems! Roald Dahl was a master of simple and effective rhymes which make you laugh out loud! I love reading poetry out loud, especially the different voices, and Jack's mother - who sounds a bit like my old gran, bless her - is the best! I've included the words - so get reading along to the poem and see if you can sound like my old nan too!
Listen to the hilarious tales of these two disgusting characters, Mrs and Mrs Twit, and the tricks they like to play on each other. We hope you enjoy listening to us and it brings you smiles and laughter 😊
