Rating: Summary: The Big Brown Spots! Review: Chocolate Fever is exciting and very funny. It's funny because Henry gets spots after eating chocolate. It's exciting because it has a lot of action. When Henry went to the doctor he ran away because he was embarassed. One day he met a man named Mac who gave him a ride. Then suddenly they got hijacked and taken away to their hideout.

Rating: Summary: Chocolate Fever Rocks Review: Chocolate Fever was illustrated by Gioia Fiammenghi and written by Robert Kimmel Smith. It is for third and fourth graders. I think that the book is a five star book. The book is about a boy named Henry who eats so much chocolate that he gets chocolate pox and lots of other things happen to him. A candy company is doing a special contest. Whoever gets a gold wrapper on their candy bar wins the contest. Lots of people were trying to get the gold wrapper and buying lots of candy. Two people won and there was one gold wrapper left. I won't tell you what happens next. You must read the book. I loved Chocolate Fever. When I started the book, I could not stop. It is a great book for both boys and girls. I hope you get a chance to enjoy this book.
Rating: Summary: you are what you eat! Review: Do you love chocolate?? *I* love chocolate!! All my friends love chocolate!! As a teacher, I often have teeny chocolate bars as prizes for my students, and they would walk a mile on their hands and knees for some chocolate!! It'd be great to eat that stuff all day long, wouldn't it?? Or, would it?? In "Chocolate Fever" our hero, Henry Green, does just that. He ADORES chocolate. He practically WORSHIPS chocolate. He eats chocolate cereal with chocolate milk. He snacks on chocolate bars and pours chocolate syrup on his pancakes. The kid is BONZO over chocolate, folks!! So, when you think about it, maybe it's NOT so strange that one day at school weird little brown bumps erupt all over his skin. They even make a popping sound as they appear! The teacher takes him to the doctor who analizes the bumps. Guess what? He's breaking out in PURE CHOCOLATE! Henry gets scared, the doctor gets inspired, thinking that he'll make medical history and be famous for discovering the first case of Chocolate Fever. Henry runs for his life. He hitchhikes with a kind trucker, thinking he'll get far, far away from this whole mess until the truck is HIJACKED!! KIDNAPPED!! And meanwhile, the truck is hauling a load of-you guessed it-chocolate candy bars!! I personally heard Chocolate Fever read to me back in elementary school, and it really stuck to my ribs. I've remembered it on and off through the years, and when I found it again in my school library, I read it to MY students. They were as enraptured with the book in 2001 as I was in 1978, which is perhaps one of the highest compliments a reader can pay to any book. Definitely a must read!
Rating: Summary: Read when calm, if you want to be excited! Review: Henry Green eats far more chocolate than anyone you know. His typical breakfast includes chocolate cake, chocolate syrup, and chocolate milk. But one day, all that chocolate-eating catches up with him, as tiny dots (which smell of chocolate) appear all over his body. The book follows Henry's day-long adventure as he must contend with probing doctors, schoolyard bullies, and highway robbers as he seeks to come to grips with his strange malady.
This was a favorite of mine as a child, mostly because all of the individual scenes were exciting and fun to read. Henry himself doesn't have much character, but the people that he meets are colorful and memorable.
Written before America's obesity problems became headline news, the book portrays Henry as surprisingly thin. Nevertheless, there are a few good lessons to be learned, including racial harmony and eating in moderation.
Children will enjoy putting themselves in Henry's shoes as he tries to get out of what seems like an impossible situation.
Rating: Summary: A fun book for kids! Review: Henry Green eats nothing but chocolate, and this delightful story follows Henry on a wonderful adventure as he breaks out in a "chocolate fever"! When spots start popping out all over his arms during class, his teacher whisks him off for a visit with the crazy Dr. Fargo. When Henry loses confidence in the wacky doc, he takes off and is chased through the streets by half the hospital staff! What happens next will surprise you. My first-grader (who is in his school's Gifted and Talented program) got somewhat bogged down in this, his first "chapter book" so I think the rating of ages 4-8 is a bit off. The school librarian rates it at a third through fifth grade level and I'm inclined to agree. We read it as a family and my fifth grader LOVED it!
