I remember and LOVED
Charlie and the Choclate Factory
when I was a child, so I expected that the short book,
The Vicar of Nibbleswicke 
would also be a delight to read. Unfortunately I was disappointed by the 'potty humor' in this. A village gets a new vicar, and he suffers from a form of dyslexia that causes him to say things backwards. Some of it is funny, like when he tells the women who knits, you STINK. But some of it is just potty humor, and while I'm sure some children enjoy that, I didn't. Stick with Charlie Bucket.

I'm rather fond of The BFG as well as Charlie, but never tried the Vicar. What a great word, though, "Nibbleswicke"! I'll have to get another guinea pig to use that name. (grin)
