Spoiler

Where were Billy’s parents??? Did he just go home that first night like “oh yeah by the way I made friends with a giraffe, a monkey, a pelican, and the duke. And now I own a sweet shop.” Like mate you are a CHILD. I think if my kid came up to me saying that I’d have them admitted.

Also, is the Billy from this book who owns the sweet shop (and is sent Wonka sweets) the same Bill who owns the sweet shop in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? If so that’s really cool.

Roald Dahl doet het weer! Hij brengt weer de nodige ingrediënten samen om een leuk kort verhaaltje voor kinderen te schrijven en doet dat zoals altijd met glans. Misschien een beetje te kort om ècht tot de grote klassiekers te horen, maar nog altijd behoorlijk entertainend.

Voor degenen die Roald Dahl aan het (her)lezen zijn, vergeet ook deze niet.

Veel leesgenot!

A lovely little story for children filled with wonder and magic. Will definitely keep this for the children to read.
