Willy Wonka

We showed our first movie of the Summer Reading Program today at the library.  The children, parents and I enjoyed the 1971 classic, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory".  Watching it again today reminded me how brilliant this movie is and what a great job Gene Wilder did in his performance of Willy Wonka.
