[.ca] Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (ISBN 0141313579)

Wish I had such a car:
"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" was my favorite movie during early childhood. I was pleasantly surprised that the book tells a different story than the movie, although it conveys the same sense of adventure. Ian Fleming wrote "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" in a different style than more current children's literature, something that may bring a change of pace to a young audience. I don't think the crude illustrations by Burningham would be received in the same manner.

THe best children's book ever:
This is my favorite children's book ever! I have read it at least 10 times--gets better every time!! Read this book to your children.

Great read aloud book.:
This was one of my favorites as a kid and I just read it to my son (aged 4 1/2). The story moves at a fast pace and was one of the first full length books we read. He loved it. The illustrations are wonderful and helped to hold his interest ... but not so many that he couldn't use his imagination to follow the story. I wish Ian Fleming had written more chldrens books.

BEST BOOK EVER! (And hillarious at that!):
"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" is a funny story, and the most exciting book ever! I definitly liked the illustrations in the book, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang should go down in history!

A fine and entertaining audiobook pick:
Andrew Sachs provides the unabridged reading of Fleming's classic story of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, about a car that floats, flies, and can steer itself, bringing to life the tale and using his extensive roles in TV, film and radio to add drama to the original classic story. New generations of young listeners will find Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to be a fine and entertaining audiobook pick.
