In my mind this was one of the best stories my parents read to me! It just feel like something any kid would want to do - mix up some sort of brew with random ingredients.
I have gifted this book to so many kids because I just feel that every child should have this story in their world. Roald Dahl just had such great imagination and story telling abilities. That is the reason his stories are so popular to this day, and it is the reason they will continue to do so decades from now.

Feel like a kid again!

It was a fun one! Great for a couple hour drive with the kids. We were entertained the entire time and the ending had us laughing as we arrived at grandma's house!

Good for kids and adults!

I don’t like that grandma’s voice is so screechy and loud. I like when George does the animal piles

George makes the medicine
