Best children's book I have ever listened to. Nice short chapters easy to listen to and it makes your mouth water at the thought of such wonderful food. The performance of the voices is amazing I love the songs from the ompaloompas and the marvels of the words that Roald Dahl uses. A truly amazing book

Hearing this story again returned me to the happy childhood memories when I read the book on many occasions. Reading it again was inspired by being taken to see the stage musical in London for a Birthday treat. It remains a timeless classic and not only for children.

A Wonderful Childhood Memory
