New version of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

[JuicyBunny]

I get the idea of adding a lost chapter originally censored out of the original release for being too intense for children to bear... but the NEW cover? Seems pretty sleazy on the part of Penguin Books. As one commenter said, the new cover seems more appropriate for Nabokov's Lolita excursion into pedophilia.

What do you think?

I'm pretty sure that's an advertisement for Toddlers & Tiaras...

I know right? We're still trying to see the connection. I'm guessing the designer saw the Tim Burton movie and got fixated on the blond bitchy girl or Penguin has lost its mind.
Cover is way too creepy. Can't wait to read the new version though. Dahl was a great writer.

I like the bit when the robot goes to the Slurm Factory.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Slurm. I love a nice bucket of Slurm on the way to see the Wizard with the other dwarves and my favorite hobbit Pinocchio. Slurm is refreshing.
