Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

There’s no improving on perfection—in this case Fleming’s adventure story (featuring the unconventional family Pott and their magically refurbished motorcar) with the original, transcendent Burningham illustrations, first published in 1964. The confiding informality of the storyteller’s voice; the nonstop and immensely child-pleasing adventures; the spunk of young Jeremy and Jemima; and of course the ingenious personality of Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang herself—all combine to make an ideal family read-aloud. This handsome fiftieth-anniversary gift edition is ... so very welcome.
—Horn Book

This is why the book holds up, 50 years after its original publication: its sense of the world as an inexplicable but also miraculous place.

Delightful! Sounding confiding, cheeky, and very British indeed, actor David Tennant relates Fleming's 1964 story of a magical car. After the Pott family acquires and restores CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG (who reveals her name with a customary series of coughs and sputters when she starts up), she takes them on all sorts of adventures—speeding down the motorway at over 100 mph, flying them to the perfect beach picnic, conveying them across the English Channel to France—and that’s just the beginning. Through it all, Tennant narrates with relish, especially when he gets to sound her GA-GOOOO-GA klaxon. It’s the perfect way to introduce a new audience to this charming British classic.
