Title: . The Chocolate Dayhighly recommended ... 5 starsThe Review: Raymond is a boy who loves chocolate. His dad offers to let Raymond eat nothing for one whole day except chocolate. Raymond’s sister Cynthia is not sure that this is a fair proposition. Raymond thinks Dad’s offer is the best deal ever until he spends twenty-four hours watching his family enjoy strawberries and waffles and cheese while he eats only chocolate. At the end of the twenty-four hours Raymond still loves chocolate but he also knows he wants something more. Ann Herrick has produced a delightful little book for children that is sure to tickle their fancy. I received a PDF for review and found it to be very easy to navigate. The story itself is only part of the work. Recipes, puzzles, detailed information regarding food groups all grace the pages as well. My fav recipe was the one for Chocolate Puppy Chow for people. Writer Herrick well understands the young mentality and has put that knowledge to good use in her work The Chocolate Day. Vocabulary is a little advanced for younger readers, however the work lends itself well to a ‘read to’ situation. Illustrations included are sure to please youngsters. I like the balance of fun story, kid centered jokes, and good solid teaching of food groups. This is a book I would use in my own Kindergarten or First Grade Classroom. The Chocolate Day is a good choice for the Primary vocabulary reader personal reading list, the classroom library and the home book shelf.

Molly, This is a great review. I agree that to make a book interactive (such as the puzzles) is a step in the right direction when appealing to children. E-books are so versatile in comparison to their paper counterparts, however, both have their potential and possibilities. This is an ideal approach to teaching children regarding choices. Thanks Molly for this review.

Wonderful review Molly. Vocabulary needs to be learned at an early age: how to use the dictionary. Words can be absolutely breath taking if put together skillfully. Well, as usual I flew off on a tangent. Sounds like the author knows what she's doing; that's important. Kids get that dictionary out and learn, learn, learn. When I return as a child down the line somewhere, I will want to read this book. Molly, you're simply too much. Red beans and ricely, Walker Joe
