Highly Recommended -- 5 Stars
…Ann Herrick has produced a delightful little book for children that is sure to tickle their fancy...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."
