A sequel to ''[[Charlie and Thethe Chocolate Factory]]'' by [[Roald Dahl]], beginning directly where the previous story left off. The previous book has ended with Charlie, having just inherited ownership of Wonka's factory, crashing through the roof of his home to pick up his family in a huge glass elevator (it can go in any direction, not just up and down). Having spent the past 20 years in bed, Charlie's grandparents (except for Grandpa Joe, who was already out) refused to get out of bed, so Wonka, Charlie, and Joe just pushed the bed into the Elevator.
 
This book opens with Wonka flying the Elevator really high, with the intention that they will then shoot straight down through the roof of the chocolate factory. However, Grandma Josephine accidentally causes them to fly into space, where they end up in orbit around the Earth.
Line 26:
* [[Padding]]: Among other things, we get the President's nanny singing a song about raising him.
* [[Toilet Humor]]: In response to the grandparents taking too much Wonka-Vite, the Oompa-Loompas perform a song telling the sad tale of a little girl who foolishly helped herself to the tastiest-looking stuff in her grandma's medicine cabinet -- which turned out to be chocolate-flavored laxatives...
* [[Who's Onon First?]]: Mr Wing and Mr Wong on the phone, and explaining the carpets are wall-to-wall to Mr Walter Wall.
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: The book is filled with puns, such as the Chief Financial Advisor trying to balance the budget. (It kept falling off his head.)
** As well as the aforementioned Mr. Wing and Mr. Wong leading to the president saying that "every time you wing you get the wong number."
