This classic tale, is a favorite I always enjoy.A young boy gets a chance to fulfill a fantasy,when he goes for a chance to meet a local choclatier.Wilder, plays the happy go lucky chap who teaches so... me children valuable lessons.He opens his chocolate factory, to five children who embark on a search for a gold ticket.Humility,generosity,and unselfishlessness cannot be taught from outside the home.Parents must instill these virtues in their children, and raise them up as good members of Society Full Review
