I liked Wonka but didn’t love it.

To Elmore’s list, I would add:

Mary Poppins
The original version of The Witches
The 1990s version of The Secret Garden
The Fantastic Mr. Fox
The 1990s version of Matilda

I love cashews and I love pizza, but those twain shan't meet as long as I have anything to say about it.
I’m nuts for pizza, but I don’t know about nuts on pizza. I would try it (I try most anything I’m not allergic to), but it doesn’t sound appealing.

If you get a chance, I say try it once.  I've been a fan for many years.

I didn't watch WONKA because the leading man gets on my last nerve and I try to avoid him whenever possible.

TOD:  Does "Freaky Friday" count as a children's book?  If so, that could be included on my list, along with many of those already listed.

DR Vixmom we have picked up pre-ordered photos.  It is convenient.  Keith had the last one he ordered mailed directly to us.

I’m now listening to Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange, whose first novel, There There, was okay.

Wandering Stars is also okay, but it feels less organic storytelling than political diatribe.
