Chocolatina

Rating:
Summary: Favorite book in our house, hands down.
Review: As chair of the AZ Young Readers' Award, I take great exception to the negative review by a reader in Jersey. In 2000, CHOCOLATINA was nominated by kids for the above award & was voted the winner by over 45,000 kids to be their favorite of 10 nominees. I read this book aloud to approx. 15 classes of K-3 children & each and everytime the response was the same, pure joy! Cries of "read it again" are the highest praise for a book. This story contains humor, just the right amount of scary stuff for young readers but above all, creativity & fantasy. Kids know they won't turn into chocolate so none of the rest of the action would actually take place--give kids some credit! It's a delightfully funny and exceptionally well illustrated story.
